WE3: POV (Point Of View) development
HW:
Finish WE3 = Write 3 paragraphs, all starting with the exact following sentence: "Michael saw her first."
For §1, write from Michael's POV, in 3rd-person description
For §2, write from 'her' POV (you may give the female character a name), also in the 3rd person.
For §3, you'll introduce a new character (a looker-on / a participant / etc.), and may choose to write either in 3rd or 1st person.
In short, you'll be writing about the same event, but as occurring through the POV of each of the characters, in turn.
When revising, try to give some unity to the 3 paragraphs, so that they progressively surprise the reader as you move from one POV to the next. I.e. try to use POV to your narrative advantage.
