A. Introduction-
| verbal: "Today we're going to work on several literary ideas, including
Point of View (POV), Plot and Conflict." |

B. Development-
Ask about different video games, the difference between something
like Halo vs. street fighter (1st person shooter vs. third person
fighting game)
-make sure to point out whose 'eyes' are they seeing things through
in each game
-Tie into the idea of POV
Stories can have several POV's within it (such as Harry Potter where
a different person is telling a story in different chapters)
Plot: like a summary, it tells what happens in the story.
Link to itunes or a movie writeup (explaining what is happening)
----
Conflict: discuss decisions that a student has to make (tough decisions)
- tie to internal conflict while external is a physical struggle

POV's in games or readings that have been done
Conflicts in games or readings that have been done
