Learning Objectives

Students will be able to compare two different points of view and analyze how they shape a reader’s perspective.

Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Ask student volunteers to retell the story "Three Little Pigs" from memory. Work as a class to recall key details.
  • Tell students that today we are going to learn about point of view and how different points of view can shape a story.

Beginning

  • Allow students to use their home language (L1) or new language (L2) when they recount the story in pairs.

Intermediate

  • Choose a text that is familiar to ELs so they can recite that story aloud.
