Learning goals
- We are learning to describe the ways in which a text reflects the time and place in which it was created.
- We are learning to recognise that the point of view in a literary text influences how readers interpret and respond to events and characters.
- We are learning to identify the narrative voice, discuss the impact of first person narration on engagement and examine texts written from different narrative points of view.
- We are learning to show how ideas and points of view in texts are conveyed through the use of vocabulary, including idioms, objective and subjective language, e.g. points of view.
