Essential Question: What are different point of views and how do you figure out which is best for your story?
Agenda:
1. Writing Prompt: Write for 10 minutes:

5. Read this article on Point of View and take notes on these different points of view:
- First Person Point of View
- Third Person Limited Point of View
