The teacher will show a video to introduce students to first-person and third-person points of view. The video will help students identify what perspective a story is being told using the help of pronouns. Then the students will identify first-person and third-person narration with the help of pronouns in two similar stories and record them on a point of view T-Chart. An anchor chart is included with this activity.
This activity was created as a result of the ALEX Resource Development Summit.
The teacher will use the attached Interactive Google Slide Presentation to introduce and explain to students the difference between the first and third-person points of view in literary texts. Within the Google Slide, there are examples of narrator vs. character point of view with the use of movie clips to introduce the topic. The Google Slides explain both points of view and allow for interactive practice as a whole group or small group to discuss the differences between the first and third-person points of view.
The teacher will use the attached Interactive Google Slide Presentation to assess if the students know the difference between the first and third-person points of view in literary texts.
The teacher will show a video that provides entertaining examples of first- and third-person point of view, then lead a discussion about the differences between these two narration styles.
This activity results from the ALEX Resource Gap Project.
