They&#8217;ll first learn to recognize first-, second-, and third-person narration, then compare the strengths and weaknesses of each perspective, and finally analyze why an author chose a particular point of view. Along the way, they\u2019ll use engaging organizers, real-world examples, games, mentor texts, and classroom discussions that make this abstract skill much easier to understand.<\/p><h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Standards Snapshot<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here\u2019s a quick peek at <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">what\u2019s expected<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4th Grade:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Compare and contrast first- and third-person narration.<\/span><\/li><li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5th Grade:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Analyze how a narrator\u2019s point of view shapes the description of events.<\/span><\/li><li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6th Grade:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Explain how authors develop the narrator\u2019s or speaker\u2019s perspective.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2019ve put together six easy-to-implement activities that will help students think critically, laugh occasionally, and (gasp) enjoy exploring narrative perspective.<\/span><\/p><h2 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"960\">What Students Will Learn<\/h2><p data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"1162\">Many point-of-view lessons stop after teaching students to identify first-, second-, and third-person narration.
