Perspective and Point of View 1

​Break Down the Benchmark

7.R.1.3

I will explain HOW the narrator, even narrators that are unreliable (not trustworthy) and shifts (changes) in the narrator’s point of view, influences (affects) on the story. Think about why the author used a reliable or unreliable narrator and why there were shifts in point of view. 

​After we read this slide,in your NOTES box on the handout,write these definitions:

EXPLAIN - give details or describe
INFLUENCE - affect what happens
UNRELIABLE - cannot be trusted
SHIFTS - moves or changes
POINT OF VIEW - the way a story is told

​DISCUSS THESE VOCABULARY TERMS WITH YOUR PARTNER AND WHICH DEFINITIONS GO WITH THEM. Use your guided notes sheet to help.
