OBJECTIVE: BY THE END OF CLASS, STUDENTS WILL IDENTIFY NARRATIVE PERSPECTIVES AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE READER'S UNDERSTANDING OF PLOT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS.
DO NOW
What is the difference between a SUMMARY, an ANALYSIS and an EVALUATION? So what does the analysis contain that a summary does not? What does an evaluation contain that a analysis does not? Use the WALL if you do not remember.
Direct Instruction
The way the reader interprets plot is directly affected by narrative perspective.
The difference between Third Person Omniscient and third person Objective is that Omniscient knows all the character's thoughts and feelings but the Objective narrator does not. The objective narrator only call tell the reader WHAT happens - not how anyone in the story FEELS.

The Pedestrian - pages 46-51
Independent
1. What is the author's purpose in writing this story? What does he fear about the future?
2. Why does Bradbury use 3rd person objective? How would the story be different if told from Leonard's perspective (1st person)?
3. Use the graphic organizer provided to complete the plot structure for the Pedestrian. The basic situation and resolution should be easy to complete (very beginning and very end of the story). So then, what happens in between? What is the turning point (climax)? Everything after the turning point is the falling action.
Exit Pass
Why would an author choose to tell a story using an objective narrator rather than an omniscient one? What does that force the reader to do?
