The same event told by two characters in one text: what each one sees, knows, and feels, and why their accounts differ; first and third person.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 48
- Who's telling the story? That's the narrator. When the narrator is a character who says I and me, it's first person.
- When the narrator tells about others, using names or he, she, and they, it's third person.
- Some stories let two characters tell the same event. Each one can only tell what they saw, knew, and felt.
- Read both parts of The Last Kick.
- Same kick, very different stories! Ana feels disappointed. Ben feels thrilled. And Ben knows something Ana doesn't: the goalie leaned left before every kick.
