Using NFS, you need to write some notes that summarise the following scenes.

G6 HW - Dual Perspectives

Foe each of three situations outlined above, write two paragraphs. The first paragraph experiences is from the perspective of a 6 year old child. The second paragraph is from the perspective of an adult.

For example, Situation 1 is the arrival of a student in a kindergarten class, and also a university class. the appropriate perspective (child or adult) should be obvious.

Remember to keep your diction (word choice) consistent with the perspective. For example, the child's perspective should use simple language, whereas the adult one requires a less immature approach.
