Two stories by Kate Chopin provide high school freshmen with an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the perspective from which a story is told. Class members read "The Story of an Hour" and a passage from The Awakening, then craft a journal entry from the point of view of either Mrs. Mallard or Mr. Pontellier.
