Point of View in Rumer Godden's "You Need to Go Upstairs"

Student had ten minutes to review Arthur C. Clarke's "If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth" before they had a quiz.

Journal Entry: "Blind"

After reading a little introductory material about Rumer Godden's life and the physical and cultural geography of England, Mr. Stone read Rumer Godden's "You Need to Go Upstairs" to the class while they listened with their head's down on their desk, allowing them to experience the story's emphasis on placing the reader as a character in the story through its second person point of view.

Students also received a handout with illustrations of major types of point of view and two vocabulary worksheets. (Period two received two single-sided sheets for the vocabulary and Periods Five, Six, and Seven received one double-sided sheet.)

Homework: Complete the two vocabulary pages (and the journal entry if not completed during class time).
