How to Write in Deep POV + get inside the mind of your character | She's Novel photo cred: © Paolo Imbag via Unsplash This post is part of the HOW TO WRITE A STORY guide series. Have you ever read a story where you feel completely one with the point of view character? It’s as if you are that person. That is an awesome experience, is it not? Novels like these are often written using a technique called Deep Point of View, or Deep POV for short. In fact, if not done with the utmost care, Deep POV can actually drive readers away. There are plenty of magical novels that have become successes without utilizing the Deep POV technique, The Great Gatsby, Pride and Prejudice, and The Chronicles of Narnia to name a few. But what is Deep POV anyway? Deep POV is a technique used to get inside the mind of a character and make a deep emotional connection with readers. Deep POV techniques can be applied to first or third person point of views with effectiveness. The reason that Deep POV is on the rise is because readers love feeling lost in their entertainment. 1. 2. Out of Deep POV
Livets lotteri – ett skrivprojekt Nedan följer delar av en variant på Boken om mig (som vi övergett för länge sedan då den inte riktigt ”tog fart”). Den här varianten har vuxit fram under de senaste åren och blir tydligare och bättre för varje år som går. Varje del föregås av gemensamma övningar (t ex läsning av texter, identifiering av typiska inslag i texterna och idésamlande), parvisa resonemang och en hel del tänkande. Eleverna måste ju veta vad reportage, resonerande text, beskrivande text och mininovell är för något eller för den delen hur man genomför en intervju eller hänvisar till källor för att kunna skriva de olika texterna. Delarna introduceras en i taget för att ge eleverna tid att tänka, samtala och påbörja sitt skrivande. Nedan presenteras enbart delar av uppgifterna. Du ska skriva olika texter om en fantastisk, unik, underbar och fullständigt makalös person – dig själv! Du ska ta med foton så att boken blir trevligare att läsa. Omfattning: Ca 0,5-1 sida/uppgift, totalt 2,5-5 sidor. Gör så här

learnenglish.britishcouncil Poets, playwrights and novelists, Britain is famous for its literary talent. From Chaucer’s 'Tales' to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter… so much of the world’s greatest literature has come from Britain. And the greatest British writer of them all is the Bard himself: William Shakespeare, and this is Shakespeare’s Globe in London, on the banks of the River Thames. William Shakespeare wrote some of the most famous plays in the world. Shakespeare’s Globe opened to the public fifteen years ago. Dominic Dromgoole is the Globe's artistic director. Richard: Dominic, tell me about the Globe. Dominic: The Globe is a recreation of Shakespeare's theatre which was originally built in 1599 by Shakespeare's own company to house his own work and the work of many other playwrights. Richard: So what happens here? Dominic: We do about 300 performances every year, about 1,500 people attend every performance. Richard: Do you think Shakespeare is still relevant today? Dominic: More than ever. Do you know what?

Micro Fiction – Two-Sentence Stories by Laura Randazzo on Prezi Teachinghistory.org Question What is multiperspectivity in history? Answer Exploring multiple perspectives (which is known as "multiperspectivity" in parts of Europe) requires incorporating source materials that reflect different views of a historical event. . . . many groups—women, the poor, ethnic minorities, etc. Another reason is disciplinary. Here's an instance of using multiple perspectives: When studying the voyages of discovery, students would not only learn about explorers like Columbus, but about the peoples who had been "discovered." In the case of Reconstruction. . . . . . instead of giving students a list of facts and dates to memorize, I would ask them to conceive of what's happening as a three-sided conflict over the meaning of freedom. Consequently, for Wiener, "students end up learning not just about what happened during Reconstruction, but about how history itself gets reconstructed." If not yet universal, this approach is widely accepted. So what can a classroom teacher do?
