Explore the impact a narrator's point of view has on a story with a reading of the children's book, Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne. Written in four different voices, the story is told and retold from different perspectives to demonstrate how the story changes depending on who's telling the tale. Through a series of whole class and small group activities, learners explore the development of the characters by analyzing their actions, thoughts, and spoken words. Appropriate for a wide range of grade levels, this lesson provides an excellent opportunity for teaching about a number of different topics related to narrative writing.
