Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 50
- Every story has a narrator, and every narrator has a lens. What they know, feel, and notice shapes what you read.
- A first person narrator says I, and tells only what that person knows. They can even be wrong!
- A third person narrator tells from outside, using names.
- So ask: what doesn't this narrator know? Could someone else tell it differently?
