Knowledge and Skills Statement

Author's purpose and craft: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student uses critical inquiry to analyze the authors' choices and how they influence and communicate meaning within a variety of texts. The student analyzes and applies author's craft purposefully in order to develop his or her own products and performances.

Deles a los estudiantes un texto en el cual el autor utiliza el punto de vista de la primera persona. Deles la tarea de que identifiquen y expliquen el punto de vista de la historia y que den ejemplos específicos sacados del texto que muestren el punto de vista de la primera persona. Anime a los estudiantes para que digan qué han aprendido de algún personaje a partir del punto de vista de la primera persona. Sus comentarios serán variados, pero deben incluir que han aprendido algún aspecto particular del personaje, como su forma de pensar y sentir.


Further Explanation

Esta evaluación permite que los estudiantes reconozcan que el autor está usando el punto de vista de la primera persona y que expliquen cómo lo saben. Los estudiantes deben también comprender y explicar que, al usar el punto de vista de la primera persona, el autor le permite al lector conocer mejor a un personaje particular de la historia. Es importante que los estudiantes desarrollen su conocimiento de una variedad de recursos literarios. De esa forma, esta actividad podría completarse haciendo uso de ellos.

a narrative perspective restricted to that of the author/narrator’s thoughts and feelings as the central character and point of view in the story First-person point of view requires the use of first-person pronouns such as I, me, my, or us.
a specific convention of language or tool (e.g., repetition, alliteration, figurative language, foreshadowing, irony) employed by the author to produce a specific effect or communicate a particular detail or message
the perspective from which the events in the story are told
a narrative perspective that includes the thoughts and feelings of one (third person limited) or more of the characters/people (third person omniscient) in a story or text and uses third-person pronouns such as he, she, or they
Literary devices are specific language techniques that convey meaning and bring clarity to a text. Students should be able to understand that authors use literary devices such as repetition, alliteration, figurative language, foreshadowing, irony, or metaphor to produce a given effect on the reader and to communicate a particular detail or message. For example, an author may want to choose a metaphor to emphasize the attributes of a character in a story. When the author uses a sentence like, “Ivan was a rabbit on the basketball court!” the author implies that Ivan was playing fast and agile, much like rabbits move.
