---

Content Objectives

1. Identify the point of view in a story and the perspective of its characters using text details.
2. Recognize how a narrator's point of view affects the description of events.
3. Understand skills and attitudes useful in an emergency at sea.
4. Analyze text details in a chart to explain a character's perspective in writing.
5. Describe the perspectives of two characters who experience the same event using sentence frames.
6. Discuss and write about skills and attitudes that are useful in an emergency.

Language Objectives

• Use academic vocabulary related to point of view (e.g., first-person, third-person, perspective, narrator) in discussions and writing.
• Write sentences using sentence frames to compare the perspectives of characters.

---

Academic Talk

• Discussion Prompts:
  • How does the narrator’s point of view influence your understanding of the story?
  • Think of a time you had to stay calm in a stressful situation. What skills helped you?

---

Build Knowledge

• Hook Activity:
  Begin with a brief read-aloud of a short passage from a story written in the first person and one in the third person. After reading, ask students to discuss how the different narrators might affect how we feel about the characters and events.

• Chart Analysis:
  Create a two-column chart on the board. One column will represent “Character A’s Perspective” and the other “Character B’s Perspective.” Select a common scenario from the story and fill in the chart as a class, guiding students to identify details from the text that illustrate each character’s unique viewpoint.

---

Plan Student Scaffolds

• Sentence Frames:
  Provide sentence frames for describing perspectives, such as:

  • "Character A feels __ because __."
  • "From Character B’s perspective, __ because __."

• Visual Supports:
  Use visual representations like character maps to help students understand relationships and perspectives.

---

Lesson Delivery - Instruction

1. Introduce Vocabulary: Define key vocabulary words (narrator, point of view, perspective) and provide examples.
2. Model Analysis: Demonstrate how to analyze text for point of view and character perspective using the chart.
3. Guided Practice: Work in small groups to identify the point of view in a new passage and fill in the chart together.
4. Independent Practice: Assign a short reading passage where students will identify the point of view and write about two characters' perspectives.

---

Lesson Closing

• Group Reflection:
  Bring the class together to share insights from their reading. Discuss how understanding point of view changed their perception of the story.

• Review Key Terms:
  Recap the terminology learned during the lesson to reinforce understanding.

---

Exit Ticket

• Have students complete a short exit ticket with the following questions:
  • "What is the point of view in the story we read today?"
  • "Describe one character's perspective in one sentence."

---

Resources

• Short stories or excerpts with clear point of view distinctions
• Chart paper or a whiteboard for collaborative chart making
• Sentence frame handouts
• Visual aids (character maps or illustrations)

---

Differentiated Instruction

• For ELL Students:
  Provide English-Spanish glossaries for vocabulary and utilize visuals to support comprehension.

• For Special Education:
  Pair students with buddies for support and provide modified texts with highlighted key details.

Accommodations & Modifications

• Allow additional time for reading and completing assignments.
• Provide text-to-speech tools for audio support.

---

Layers

Small Group

Conduct small group discussions focusing on different characters and their perspectives.

Intervention

For students struggling with identifying point of view, provide additional one-on-one support and practice with simplified texts.

Extension

For advanced learners, ask them to create their own short narratives using different points of view for the same event.

---

Standard-Based Assessment

• Assess student's understanding of point of view through a short quiz that includes identifying the narrator and summarizing character perspectives.

---

Reflection

At the end of the lesson, ask students to think about these questions:

• What was the most challenging part of identifying point of view?
• How can understanding perspective help you in real-life situations?

Encourage them to be mindful of perspectives in their daily interactions and storytelling in the future.
