Students are learning about character traits. Character traits describe what a character says or does. We are practicing identifying different character traits of the main characters in stories. We are also working on finding evidence in our books that supports our thinking.
Students are also beginning to learn about point of view. As second graders they need to be able to tell who is telling the story-is it a character or a narrator? They also should be able to identify the key words that are used that help them to know who is telling the story. For example if the story is told by a character then they might use words like I, me, or my. If the story is being told by a narrator then they would use words like he, she, they or them.
We will begin to talk about comparing points of view between characters in the next few weeks. We will also start to compare different versions of the same story. As we get closer to March we will be diving into Cinderella stories from around the world. We will talk about the similarities and differences of these stories.
