Point of View
When students are seated, introduce the new unit: Point of View.
Review what students know or think they know about the topic and have them give examples if they can.
Transition into pre-assessment.
Have students take pre-assessment.
I will explain it’s not graded.
Activity 1: Smart Board and Books:
I will go through the criteria on the smart board of what each point of view is.
I will have them tell me what they think their small group books are and we will discuss why they thought that.
I will reveal what their books are.
I will read a children’s book example for each of the three points of view.
Activity 2: Small Group Books
The students will stay in small groups and I will pass out several children’s books that have each of the three points of view.
I will provide them with a checklist to determine which point of view each book is using the information provided from the smart board presentation.
The goal is to be critically thinking about why a book is one and not the other.
Wrap up what they learned today.
Discuss a key point from each activity.
Ask them to think about what their free read book is and share that in the next lesson.
Address any behavior issues.
