You are going to write a small moment for an image in first and third person point of view.
There are two examples below. Notice how the narrator uses thoughts, descriptions, emotions, and dialogue.
First Person
It seems crazy to me that this is my normal way to get to school. At least I only have to do it once a week, and staying at school all weeks is kinda fun; I get to hang out with my friends in the evening. "Dude! Your shoe just hit me in the face." "Oh, sorry! I forgot to double knot it." "No worries. Sorry you lost your shoe." Third Person Amazingly, climbing the ladder up the cliff feels normal to these students. As Miguel climbs up, his shoe suddenly falls off and smacks Francisco below him in the face. "Oh, sorry! I forgot to double knot it," said Miguel. "No worries!" said Francisco. The two then bravely continued up the ladder. |
First Person
"What? Is this for real?" I thought to myself. Who will ever believe this? I know - I will tell Mateo. That dude will trust me. And imagine the tricks, fun, and experiments that we can do with a flying dog. Third Person "What? Is this for real?" Thought Shabaz. He thought feeding his dog helium from a balloon would make its voice higher.... but now it seems that he has a flying dog. After discussing things with his friend Mateo, they started making plans. There was a lot that one could do with a flying pet. |

This is CJ in high school.
This is CJ now. He is still small for an NBA player (though taller than an average person. However, you can see how he worked to make his body as strong as possible and have as many skills as possible.
Moreover, CJ is very aware that being an NBA player is a short term job. You need a SELF IDENTITY and an INCOME SOURCE that will last longer than being a basketball player. He worked hard in school and college and got that for himself. He has also helped younger people find that path.

Hi - Sephina let me know that you were interested in the chocolate cake recipe that I make with my class.
The button below has the recipe. It is a simple and forgiving recipe.
The button below has the recipe. It is a simple and forgiving recipe.
There is a video of me making the cake that I think Sephina wanted you to see. However, that video is from an activity I do with my students where they do a complex math task and however many steps they leave out in the math task, I leave out when I make the cake - so I'd stick with the original recipe above : )
Thank you for being such a strong and consistent role model for Sephina this year! She truly values you and is excited about summer, yet is already talking about how she will miss her teachers.
Thank you.
