Planning notes for this lesson

Prerequisite skills to check: first-person and third-person narration and comparing points of view (RL.4.6); how a narrator's or speaker's point of view influences how events are described (RL.5.6); citing details from a text.

Key vocabulary: point of view, narrator, speaker, first person, third-person limited, third-person omniscient, perspective, textual evidence.

Warm-up idea: Read a short scene, such as a lunch tray spilled in the cafeteria, told twice: once by the student who dropped it and once by a friend watching. Ask what each narrator notices, leaves out and feels.

Exit ticket idea: Students name the narrator's point of view in a short passage, quote two details (word choice, thoughts, or what the narrator does or doesn't know) that show how the author develops it, and explain how one moment would change if another character told it.

Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
