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 that prompts them to think about points of view. Then, they learn to identify first-person and third-person points of view. Next, they read two 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 points of view. Objectives Duration One class period. Vocabulary Word Used in Passage 1 Vocabulary Word Used in 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 has a point of view. In this experience, you will learn what that means.
Objectives
Choose one of those three points of view: the surfer’s, the photographer’s, or your own. What does the person whose point of view it is see, think, and feel?
Lead a discussion in which students compare and contrast the points of view they have described. For each of the characters (including themselves as observers), compare different students’ descriptions of the same character’s point of view. Though the facts are much the same from each point of view, each point of view selects different details to emphasize or de-emphasize. In addition, the emotions and thoughts depicted will probably vary widely with point of view.
