 * On a notecard, answer the following questions:

1. What point of view is being used? (1st, 3rd Limited, 3rd Omniscient) 2. From whose perspective is the story being told? Whose point of view do you see? 3. What is the effect of this point of view? Think: How would the story be different if it was told from another character's viewpoint?

Independent Reading or Writing/Lit Circles

 * Read independently in your novels. In your journal today, write an effective LOT 3 entry about the effect of point of view in your novel. You might address the same questions from the earlier assessment in your commentary. Remember to include title, date, LOT #, text detail, and commentary for your entry!
