Today’s PLAN: - ACE it quiz on “Helen on 86th Street” -Discuss and turn in plot charts for evaluation - Discuss characterization, Point of View, and Allusions - Quoth Mrs. Anderson, “Nevermore.” - Discuss the importance of time period (setting) and background knowledge - Begin reading “The Sniper” Homework: - Finish reading “The Sniper” - Complete plot chart A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard word. – Colin Powell

PLOT Discussion As a group, take out your plot charts (Those WITHOUT homework are to be at the perimeter of the room. No talking for you. Work.) Determine what you think are the crucial parts of the story (rising action, climax, resolution, etc.) Be prepared with your responses AND any questions that you might have.

PLOT COnsensus

Characterization recap In your pairs, come up with ONE trait that Vita exhibits in the story. Find THREE specific (this means WORD-FOR-WORD) examples with page numbers. Explain how EACH EXAMPLE supports your TRAIT. Turn it in to me when you are finished.

Point of View Conversation Let’s recap really quickly: First person Definition Narrator Third person limited Third person omniscient

Use of allusions and point of view Look over your lists of allusions. What kind of things stand out? How do they impact the story? Why does the author choose to use them? This story is told in the __________ point of view. How does this impact our understanding of the story? How would it be different if it were told in another perspective?

Quoth Mrs. Anderson,

Background knowledge In our last story, we needed to know some background information. WHY does it help to have background knowledge? As readers (and as your teacher), why is it important to do some RESEARCH? PERSPECTIVE – the literary term we use to describe historical context, significance, and an author’s view of the world based on his/her experience.
