Point of View

 

Formative Assessment:

t                 Who’s side of the story or point of view is this story told from?

t                 Describe the Wolf in this story.

t                 Describe the Pigs in this story.

t                 What happens to the Pigs in this story?

t                 What happens to the Wolf in this story?                          

t                 Given a “same story, different version chart” the students with assistance from the teacher will fill in the chart by comparing the wolf’s version of events from the True Story of the 3 Little Pigs to the pigs’ version found in a traditional telling of the story.

t                 Students will write a defense for the point of view of the character they chose to believe  entitled, “The Pigs or the Wolf-Whom do you Believe?”, the students will complete the defense by choosing which point of view they agree with, why they agree with that point of view, and by decorating the sheet appropriately.

 

 

Instructional Strategies or Activities:

 

Students will be asked to become detectives to see who is telling the truth by listening to both sides of the story or each character’s point of view.

 

Procedure:

 

t                  Students will sit on the rug or in a circle on the floor. 

t                  The teacher will show the class The Three Little Pigs book and discuss how one-sided the story is.

t                  The teacher will explain to the students that we now have the wolf’s side of the story, or his point of view.

t                  The teacher will read both versions of the books, The Three Little Pigs and True Story of the 3 Little Pigs.

t                 Students will then write their point of view entitled “The Wolf or the Pigs-Whom do you Believe?”
