THE SEASONS AND SOMEONE VIRGINIA KROLL ANTHONY SURDO (RAFT)

INTRO: PERSPECTIVE What does perspective mean to you? -Point of View (author, audience, etc.) -Evaluation or observation -Maybe a mental outlook? It is very important to understand four components of every piece of work: -the role of the author (R) -the intended audience (A) -the format of the composition (F) - the topic (T)

R : ROLE OF THE AUTHOR Who is writing this piece? (Students answer first) How does she relate to this story? -The author here has intent to illustrate the geography, culture, and climate patterns of the Eskimo people in the northernmost parts of the world -She herself is of Eskimo descent, and talks about where her people lived and continue to live through the eyes of an Eskimo child (the narrator) -The author likes to ask questions in this book too, all starting with “what will happen…?”

A : WHO ARE THE POSSIBLE AUDIENCES ? Why would someone want to read this book? What information does it contain? -Geographers or a history class -biologists -people who are related to Native Americans or like this culture -anyone who loves animals and their families Look at all the different animals and Eskimos in this tundra landscape. Is it possible that they could be an “audience” responding to the changes in climate? (Think critically on this one)

F : FORMAT OF THE BOOK What do you notice in common about how the little Eskimo girl talks in this book? -She is always asking rhetorical questions about what would happen if or when… “the gulls gather on the cliffs?” “the bushes burst into clouds of green?” “the Blizzard swallows the village and the Wind pounds at the igloo door?” -Why are all the natural occurrences and other words capitalized in this story? (Hint: think about Eskimo religion and how old she is) -What is alliteration? Are there any examples in this book?

T : TOPIC OF THE BOOK What is the point or message of the story? What other descriptive language is the Eskimo child using that helps the author convey her message? Why would the author write about this? Who is “Someone” in the book? How could this connect to Eskimo religion?

WHAT IS YOUR POINT OF VIEW ON THIS STORY?
