and be able to come up with their own point of view of the character, the same or different.
Method(s): Whole group, group tables, groups of two, student discovery, smartboard work and use, listening
comprehension, dry erase board work.

Teacher and students will discover the point of view for the characters in the story and then develop our

words they do not know, to lead thinking, or to help keep students on task with an 80% accuracy.

the class with an 80% accuracy.

developing their own points of view of the characters with an 80% accuracy.
Lesson Closure:

be able to support that with information from the text.

Independent Practice:
Students take the point of view of the characters and develop their own point of view of them.

How I would teach this lesson differently next time. (Reflection)
1. This was a fun and easy lesson to do. The students have their vocabulary test tomorrow and I knew that some
of them needed more practice with them, so I believe my sentence idea worked well.
2. I wish that I could have asked the students to come up with a sentence with two of their vocabulary words in
it, just to see what they came up with.
3. The students must really enjoy their reading program online when the teacher has their story read to them and
they read and follow along to it. They paid so much attention to it they were concentrating on it like it was the
only thing they ever knew. We didnt finish the story but tomorrow we will.
