Assignment 4: Lesson Plan
Lesson: Point of View Writing
Objective: To show how different points of view can change a story.
Activity: Students will be shown a picture of an animal and its prey. Half the class will write a story from the animals point of view and the other half will write a story from the prey's point of view. I will then partner up the students into "animal" and "prey" pairs. They will share their stories with each other.We could also take time and share stories as a large group for those that are willing to share their writing. After listening to the point of view stories, we will discuss how point of view is an important aspect of writing a story.
Assessment: After sharing stories and listening to the different point of view, the students will chose either the animal or the prey and write a final story.
Differentiation: The students could partner up to write their final stories.
Extension: Students that finish could illustrate a scene to go with their story.
Connections: This writing activity fits nicely into my science animal unit.

This is a great lesson. It fits in nicely with our study of ecosystems. I think it's a nice introduction to point of view and could easily be extended, once this point of view is written, to characters in a book, or even historical figures in social studies.
