Introduction
(2 minutes)- Tell students that today they will be learning some sentence structures and vocabulary that will help them make inferences about other people's (or characters') feelings.
- Explain that when we can recognize and infer how other people are feeling and why, then we can begin to understand their perspective.
- Clarify that perspective is a person's (or character's) point of view, or the way they see and experience things. In a fictional story, there may be multiple perspectives to consider. Explain that understanding the different perspectives in a story can help us understand it on a deeper level.
