  1. Narration

  2. Narration: internal • Internal narrators (sometimes called first-person narrators or character narrators). • Easy for young readers to empathize with • Limited viewpoints • Readers can only see what the characters see. • But sometimes readers can understand more than the character-narrator understands. • Even when a character tells her own story, she is telling it from a different time than it is happening. • When a character is closer in time to the actions they talk about, they are usually more engaging, but readers have more to figure out.

  3. Narration: external • External narrators. • They are outside the story and usually not identified. • An “omniscient” narrator can go anywhere and know what’s in anyone’s mind. • A “limited omniscient” narrator can move around too, but usually only knows the mind of the protagonist. • Listen to the voice of these narrators to try to think what kind of tone or attitude they have. • Often these narrators are very didactic, telling readers exactly what they should do or think. • Sometimes these narrators are playful and teasing.
