Evelyn CaspersonKatherine SzatkowskiPoint of ViewGrade: 5Time: 35 minutesStandard: 5.RL.6: Describe how a narrator’s or speaker’s point of view influence how events are describedObjectives: Students will be able to identify first person and third person point of view from Sounder and Letters to Rifka and their own independent reading.Materials:Point of view PowerPointLined paperSounder by William H. ArmstrongLetters to Rifka by Karen HesseStudents’ independent reading booksLesson Sequence:Engagement:“Boys and girls, can someone remind us what books you are reading for Literacy? (Student should say Sounder and Letters to Rifka.) Can someone tell us a brief plotline of each story, since we have not had a chance of reading it yet? (Allow time for students to volunteer.)State the objective and Purpose:“Today readers, we are going to talk about the different types of point of view in a story.”“Boys and girls, I would like you to take out your reading journal and take notes on the Point of View PowerPoint.” “Point of view is who is narrating the story. (Write the definition of point of view on the board.)Authors like Karen Hesse and William H. Armstrong use point of view in a story to make it consistent and easy to understand. It also allows authors to fix their readers' attention on exactly the detail, opinion, or emotion the author wants.” Teach and Model:“There are several types of point of view which are first person, second person, and third person. Third person is divided into two specific types which are third person limited and third person omniscient. “First person point of view is when a character in the story is telling the?story. You get to hear the thoughts of the narrator and see the world depicted in the story through his or her eyes. We can identify first person point of view is looking for clue words like I, we, and me.” “Below is a passage from The Hunger Games.My real name is Katnsis, but when I first told him, I had barely whispered it. So he thought I’d said Catnip. (The clue words are I and the point of view is the main character, Katnsis.)“Second person point of view addresses the reader. This point of view is rarely used in stories. It is often seen in emails and formal letters. Clue words to look for are you, your, yours. “Third person point of view is told by?a narrator outside the story is telling the story.? Third-person point of view is divided into third person limited and third person omniscient.”“Third person limited is when the narrator reveals everything through one character’s eyes. Clue words to look for are he, she, and they. “Below is a passage from Little House and the Big Woods. She was so beautiful that Laura could not say a word. She just held her tight and forgot everything else. (The clue words are she, and it only reveals the thoughts and feelings of one character.)“Third person omniscient is when the narrator reveals everything and the thoughts of all the characters. Clue words to look for are he, she, and they. “Below is a passage from Journey to Jo’burg.”As they came nearer, Naledi fixed her eyes on the ground ahead, trying not to look, trying not to think. It was clear that Naledi had made her mind—and Tiro knew his sister….So Tiro gave up reasoning. (The clue word is they. We learn about more than one character from these excerpts.)“When trying to determine point of view, you must look at the narration. Do not look at anything in quotation marks.”For example, John looked at the paper. “I think I’ve seen this man,” he said. ?I am going to look at the narration, not what John said. Next, you want to find all the pronouns in the narration and highlight them. For example, John looked at the paper. “I think I’ve seen this man,” he said. He turned to his friend and asked, “Do you know this man?”“I am going to look at the pronouns that are in the narration, not inside the quotations.” (The pronouns are he, and since it is referring to one character than this example is third person limited.)Guided Practice:“Boys and girls, below are a list of pronoun clues. Can someone tell me what point of view uses the clue words I, us, and we?” (Correct answer is 1st person)“Can someone tell me what point of view uses the clue words you?” (correct answer is 2nd person)“Can someone tell me what point of view uses the clue words he, she, it, they, and them?” (correct answer is 3rd person)“When you are reading a book, a good reader will often think while reading about whose point of view the book is in. I would like everyone to write down these two examples in you reading journal and write what point of view it is in. When everyone is done, we will go over it as a class.” (Allow the student some time to work on the guided practice problems.)Call on a different student for each question. Make sure to ask how he or she got the answer. Ask the class if everyone agrees. Make sure to clarify if needed.Independent Practice/Assessment:“Now take a couple of minutes to look in your Sounder, Letters to Rifka, and independent reading book to discover what type of point of view it is in. On the line paper, we would like you to write your name and date. We would also like you to write the titles of the book. Under each title, we would like you to write in complete sentences the point of view the story is in, and write a passage from the story to support your answer.”“Does anyone have any questions?” “If anyone needs help with their book, we will be walking around to help anyone who needs help.”“When you are done please turn over your paper, and read your independent book.” The students will discuss their answers with the class.Teachers will collect their papers to see their understanding or confusion.Closure:“Great job readers! It is important to understand the author’s point of view, and good readers often figure out the point of view while reading to better comprehend the story.” How will you know the lesson has been successful?We will know when the lesson is successful by reading the students’ answers from the independent activity. Students should be able to identify the point of view of their class book and independent reading book and provide evidence to support their answer. The students’ oral responses during the mini lesson will indicate understanding. Differentiation:Students who struggle will be provided the print out of the PowerPoint to follow along during the lesson.Students will use their independent reading book, which should be at their level to complete the assignment on lined paper. ................
