Text Interpretation Assessment #1
Today, during my absence, I would like to challenge you to analyze the narrative structure of the novel so far. Remember, the narrator is the person who tells the story. I would like you and your fellow English students to discuss the narrator's role in this novel by examining these questions together:


 * Who is the narrator/speaker in the novel?
 * Do the narrator's position, perspective, and identity remain constant or change throughout the narrative?
 * What other characters' views are represented and used to convey the novel's insights and to give readers a certain viewpoint on Igbo society?

Now, that you have thought about these questions, I would like you to develop the following writing assessment on your own. **It will be due at the end of class on** **Friday** (or Monday if I am ill again).

//Take up a character in the novel, such as Okonkwo, Obierika, Unoka, Ekwefi, Ezinma, Nwoye, or Ikemefuna, and rewrite a scene from his or her voice and position from chapters 1-10.//

Use the following character chart to organize your work. All of you must choose different characters and scenes for this assessment so that your work is authentically yours. I look forward to reading your narratives.




 * Homework:** Julia and Vivien be ready for chapter discussion and vocabulary for Chapters 5-7 on Friday. Please prepare Chapters 8-10 for Monday. Sara will be discussion leader and Julia will be vocab meister.
