1 November 29th, 2018 Sit at your number. Follow normal procedures for your books and agenda. Get out your plot diagrams. Books go under your chair and NOT on the tables. Get out your plot diagrams and notes on dialogue. This story does not have a heading. It is not double spaced. You need to center an original title and use correct capitalization. The title and the font should be 12” Times New Roman or Aerial Black. You must indent each paragraph. You must have at least 5 paragraphs – one for each part of the plot. Many of you will have more. It must be only one page long. Your narrative must be first person. You may not plagiarize. You must include all of the parts of the original plot. You must print a copy of the ROUGH DRAFT for me before leaving today.

2 Today’s Writing Task Get a computer with your number. You must type in 365. Save your document as Point of View Dinner Party. You will use your organizer to include all of the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The parts of the plot will NOT change. You are only changing the point of view and perspective. When you present your final story to the class, you will be telling the ENTIRE story through Mrs. Wynnes’ eyes. Rough Drafts have to be completed and printed by the end of class tomorrow.

3 November 28th, 2018 Follow procedures for the agenda and books. Hand in homework from Monday that was not completed correctly Get out Freytag’s pyramid Get out your bell ringer. Bell Ringer: You have 5 minutes to respond in writing: The passage below is written in third person. Rewrite the passage below using first person point of view of the mother in the passage. The beautiful sunset peaked through the windows as the car made its way up Interstate 75. Fighting in the back seat had already begun, so the boys were obviously awake. The exhausted mother wondered to herself if they would ever get along. We will read the best one from each group!

4 How do I change 3rd person to 1st person point of view?
Traffic was heavy as she made her way to the airport. It was a morning like any other, but something did not seem right. In order to avoid rushing, she had packed the night before ensuring nothing was forgotten. Paying close attention to her precious cargo, she quietly asked a skycap for assistance. As I made my way to the airport, I remember noticing traffic was heavy but not unusual. All my mornings seemed to be the same boring routine. Trying not to look over anxious, I cut my eyes over toward a skycap and realized he was someone I knew. “Good morning Sam,” I cheerfully called out, “as I made my way toward the counter with my precious cargo in tow. What are the changes you see? What does not change?

5 Today’s Task – rough copy
Assume the character of Mrs. Wynnes. While embodying this point-of-view, craft a narrative from a first person perspective. Focus on retelling each part of the story using first person.  Read the example for part of the rising action. Example: Throughout the dinner party, the colonel, with his booming, obnoxious voice insinuates that women possess less self-control than men. I am about to voice an angry yet rational response, when suddenly, I freeze. Powerfully, my jaw clenches, my teeth scraping together as rough sandpaper snags the flesh of my exposed foot.
