Assignment 6 & 7: Implement/Reflect

I implemented my lesson plan for "Point of View" writing and my fourth graders loved it. We are in middle of a science unit about animals and we have been talking about food chains and food webs. I put a picture of a hawk and a mouse on the board. Half the class wrote stories from the hawks point of view, the other half from the mouse's point of view. And then we shared. Of course at the beginning they all thought their point of view was the right one, but after sharing, minds were changed. They discovered there is no right or wrong point of view, it is what it is. It was a good lesson and one that I will do again.
