Wednesday, September 21 - Lamb to The Slaughter - Point of View and Characterization

Objective: By the end of class, students will identify point of view and character traits and how they impact the story  in order to improve reading comprehensive skills. 

DO NOW

 Plot structure for LTTS  - 15 minutes

Direct Instruction

Point of View 

Character traits  - review traits and how traits can be revealed using the STEAL method.

Guided

1. From whose point of view is LTTS told? 

2. Because the story is told from this point of view, what do we know for sure and what must we infer?

3. How does it make the story more exciting? What does it create that if told by an omniscient narrator you would not have?

Independent

Use the character trait graphic organizers to develop Mary's character on one side, and Patrick's character on the other. 

Since you do not know what Patrick is THINKING because the story is told from Mary's point of view, then use EFFECT ON OTHERS. So, in that bubble, write how he makes Mary feel to reveal what kind of person he really is.

Use the list of sample character traits to help you.

Check for Understanding

Individual student checks during independent work

Closure

Review POV and characterization and their effects on the plot.
