This resource focuses on the analysis of narrative perspective in literature, aiming to help students identify and critically evaluate tone, narrative voice, and bias within short narrative passages. The learning goal is to enable students to understand how these elements influence character development and shape reader interpretation, using textual evidence to support their analyses. The document includes definitions and examples of key terms like tone, voice, and bias, and offers various activities including guided practice, textual analysis with a CER (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) framework, and peer review sections. Students will engage in practical exercises that encourage them to recognize and articulate how an author's choices affect the understanding of a narrative, thereby deepening their comprehension and appreciation of literature.
