Author’s Point of View can be a very difficult idea for
students to get ahold of. Let’s face it;
third graders are not about thinking about how an author’s ideas and feelings
impact a writing piece. They are not
aware of how they even feel about the piece themselves! This is where we, the adult in the room, must
totally stretch themselves!
I stretched and I
have discovered some solutions along the way.
This is the first installment of a 3 part series on how to help kids
discover the Author’s Point of View.
Part 1 is a video piece! I was so
excited to share that I recorded this video on a Friday because Thanksgiving
Break was coming! I knew I would loose
the enthusiasm over the Break-and I did!
I posted this on my Facebook page (please visit!) and I had grand plans
of posting this little ditty on my blog!
You can see how long that took!
Anyways, here it is in all it’s glory!
It is my first attempt at video, so the sound isn’t great! I plan on working on that in the future! But, the idea is worth the watch!
As you can see, my first attempt is, well, a first
attempt! But, the idea is so worth
trying!
Check back with me to read Part 2 and Part 3, both discussed
in the video! This works! I’m so excited to see where we will go with
this in the future! With that, I ask,
what have you done to improve student understanding of Author’s Point ofView? I’d totally love to hear about it!
