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.
