Direct Instruction
Review narrative perspective quiz from yesterday.
Guided / Independent
Look at the multiple choice questions for the poem Starlings in Winter. Which ones can we answer without reading the poem? (Use multiple choice strategies to try to cross at least two choices out id possible).

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze narrative perspective in order to prepare for the Keystone exam.
DO NOW
Take out the 'Fill in the Blanks" definitions sheet and continue to complete. You can use the glossary in the green keystone book if you need help.

Together, Read the examples from the POV handout yesterday and note the differences, especially between 3rd Omniscient and 3rd Objective.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never consider dialogue when determining what POV it is. That means you can cross out anything in between quotation marks prior to making your determination.
Example:
"Do you love dancing?" I asked my friend.
(what is the above sentence's POV?)
Guided / Independent
POV review quiz. You can use your notes for guidance ( also, I would do "part 2" first...it may help you).
Go back to your "Do Now" and complete. If you don't complete in class today, complete for HW.
