If the question says to change to point of view to a certain character, what should I do?

• I should write 2-3 paragraphs summarizing the story. I should take on the role of the character and say what the character would say if he was talking.

• I should write 1 paragraph summarizing the story. I should take on the role of the character and act like the character using words like them, they, she he. I should not include dialogue.

• I should write at least 2-3 paragraphs summarizing the story, not copying the entire thing. I should take on the role of the character and act like that character, using words like I, we, us, me. I should include dialogue.

If the question asks what you learned from the illustrations, what should you do?

• I should just start talking about the pictures. I don't need to be specific because the reader will know what picture I am talking about. I need to say what I see and that is it.

• I should first remember that illustrations are pictures. I should make a separate paragraph for each story. I should describe the illustration so the reader knows which one I am talking about, and then I should say what could be learned from that illustration. It should relate to the story, but be something that I can LEARN FROM WHAT I SEE IN THE PICTURE.
