Reading Anchor Standard 6
The emphasis is on POV and author’s purpose
The goal for students to understand that stories may be told and text mmay be written in different ways depending on who is doing the telling or writing
Understanding POV in a different way
By the end of high school, students are expected to know how to analyze POV or cultural experiences in literary works from around the world and to demonstrate knowledge of literary elements based on a sophisticated analysis of a narrator’s POV
Satire
Sarcasm
Irony
When reading info text, being able o analyze the authors’ or narrators’ POV means being able to determine the credibility of a text
Reading Anchor Standard Focuses on 2 Reading Skills

POV

May be analyzed to determine POV as a literary device or to determine the author’s POV about a topic

How can we Teach Reading Standard 6 to our students?
POV
Open minded portrait
Purpose is to understand the character’s POV
Can be used with sotries, biographies, or informational texts with descritions of individuals
Students can draw the picture of the character ad cut it out to use as a tracer for other pages. Ask students to complete a booklet of how the character feels
Differentiation
Have students fold paper in half and draw the character on both sides
Students fill in the shape with words that represent character
Comparing and Contrasting POV
Thinking Hats
Students work ins small groups to discuss possible character POV
Students split up into “expert” groups to where each group discusses one character
Students return to groups and discuss each of the characters
Compare and contrast POVs
Activities
Kindergarten
POV
Students will be reading the sotry The Three Little Pigs
Ask students to pair share with a partner as the wolf and one as the pig
As a class ask students to share some perspectives of the wolf. Model writing for students
Ask students to then share perspectives of the Pig. Make sure students understand what POV and perspective mean
1st Grade
Read The Three Little Pigs to students and the class up (Half pigs half wolf)
Host a discussion between the POV of the pigs vs. the wolf
Make a chart color coded and have students post their thoughts after sharing in a discussion
2nd Grade
Host a student Readers’ Theatre featuring the story The Three Little Pigs
Allow students who have a part to take home the script to practice; practice in the classroom is also important to monitor fluency!
Students who are not a character will keep record of the four different POVs
Students in the Readers’ Theatre will assist the class in associating different voices to each character. Seeing four people will be a visual way for students to associate every pig and the wolf with a different perspective
Connect with students that how they feel and how they see the world is their perspective just how Pig 1 saw the Wolf.

Students will write about what the problem really was
What caused the problem?
How was the problem resolved?
Make sure students can pass at reading
