We will be reading the  informational text by Deirdre Clemente tomorrow, where she discusses the controversy surrounding what Serena Williams, a famous tennis player, who decided to wear a cat sut to the 2018 French Open. 

 Our learning targets:

1. to practice how an author's writing style reveals their point of view

2. to understand how diction, that is word choic, contributes to the power or persuasiveness of a text

3. to understand how figurative language devices contribute to the power or persuasiveness of the text.

4. to understand how point of view, word choice and figurative language devices are all interconnected.

Terms to review:

 

1. Point of view: first person, second person, third person

 (limited / omniscient)

2.  figurative language: imagery- all 5 senses and sometimes a sixth!

Point of view is a reflection of the opinion an individual from real life or fiction has. Examples of point of view belong to one of these three major kinds:

1. First person point of view involves the use of either of the two pronouns “I” or “we.”

• “I felt like I was getting drowned with shame and disgrace.”
• 

2. Second person point of view employs the pronoun “you.”

• “Sometimes you cannot clearly discern between anger and frustration.”

3. Third person point of view uses pronouns like “he,” “she,” “it,” “they,” or a name.

• “ Stewart is a principled man. He acts by the book and never lets you deceive him easily.”
• VERY IMPORTANT TO  NOTE LIMITED OR OMNISCIENT (all knowing)
