The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Point of View:
Overview In this experience, students look at a photo and think about points of view. Then, they learn to identify first-person and third-person points of view, including third-person omniscient and third-person limited. Next, they read three versions of a passage differing in point of view and explain their responses to them. Finally, they write two different versions of the same one-paragraph story, using different third-person points of view. Objectives Duration One class period. Vocabulary Words: Explore Passage 1 Vocabulary Words: Explore Passage 2
When you look at the world—perhaps from your window, perhaps from street level, perhaps from an airplane in flight—you see it from a certain spot and a certain angle. In other words, you have a point of view. Every story also uses a point of view. In this experience, you’ll learn what that means.
Objectives
Choose any one of those people and write a sentence describing the scene from his or her point of view. What does that person see, think, and feel? In addition to your sentence, briefly identify the person, such as “tall man with glasses, fourth from left.”
Lead a discussion in which students compare and contrast the points of view they have described. The point of view may be either first-person or third-person. The sentence may include the character’s thoughts or feelings, but does not have to.
