Objective

Students will learn to identify and understand the concept of point of view in stories. They will be able to distinguish between first-person and third-person point of view through reading and discussion.

• Point of View chart (with columns for "First Person" and "Third Person")
• Whiteboard and markers
• Drawing paper and crayons

Standards

• Understanding of narrative elements, including point of view.
• Active participation in discussions and group activities.

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Ask the Class: "Have you ever told a story about something that happened to you?"

   • Allow a few students to share their experiences.

2. Explain Point of View: Introduce the two main types of point of view:

   • First Person: The narrator is a character in the story and uses words like "I", "me", and "my."
   • Third Person: The narrator is outside of the story and uses words like "he", "she", "they", and "them."

Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Read Aloud: Choose a story and read it to the class.

   • While Reading: Pause at key moments to ask, "Who is telling the story? How do you know?"

2. Discussion:

   • After reading, ask: "Was the story told in first person or third person? How can we tell?"
   • Fill in the Point of View chart together as a class.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Group Activity: Divide students into pairs and give them another short story or excerpt.

   • Ask each pair to identify the point of view and discuss it with each other.
   • Circulate around the room to assist and listen to discussions.

2. Share Findings: Have a few pairs share what they found out. Encourage them to explain how they knew which point of view was used.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

1. Drawing Activity: Provide each student with drawing paper and crayons.
   • Instruct them to draw a scene from a story they like but change the point of view (e.g., from first person to third person).
   • Have them write a sentence about their drawing explaining the point of view used.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

1. Recap: Bring the class together and review the definitions of first person and third person.
2. Exit Ticket: Ask each student to say one thing they learned about point of view today before they leave.

Assessment

• Observe participation during discussions and group activities.
• Review the drawings and sentences to check understanding of point of view.

Extensions

• For advanced students, introduce the concept of second person point of view.
• Encourage students to write their own short story using a specific point of view.

Adaptations

• Provide scaffolding for students who may struggle with vocabulary.
• Use visual aids, such as pictures or graphic organizers, to support comprehension.

By the end of this lesson, students should have a foundational understanding of point of view and be able to identify it in various texts.
