Our fourth grade students have a required study of short story from alternative perspectives as part of their writing curriculum. I am trying to compile a list of books, picture books and short stories that illustrate this writing style/technique. While this list is of interest to teachers of older kids as well, obviously we need to be mindful of content. If you have a suggestion but feel the text appropriate for older readers only, or perhaps in excerpt, would you let me know. We are also gathering texts which contain examples of 2nd person. Here is the list so far, sorrowfully short. Any suggestions?
Stories or Books Containing Examples of Second Person Voice:
The Tale of Despereaux (Novel, Katie Dicamillo)
Jeremy Goldblatt is Not So Moses (Short Story in anthology: Thirteen Stories that Capture the Agony and the Ecstasy of Being Thirteen, James Howe
Stories or Books Told Through Alternating Points of View:
Voices In the Park (Picture Book, Anthony Browne)
Jeremy Goldblatt is Not So Moses (Short Story in Anthology, Thirteen: Thirteen Stories that Capture the Agony and the Ecstasy of Being Thirteen, James Howe)
Flipped (Novel, Van Draanen)
I Am the Dog I Am the Cat (Donald Hale)
