This is a great 2 day lesson to introduce/review the concept of "Point of View" with your students. I usually use this lesson while reading "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, but it can be used in any unit with little to no modification. The lesson includes:
- Minilesson notes on POV with model examples
- 2 activities where students practice identifying an author's POV, and considering POV in their own writing.
Dear Kevin,
My unzip program won't open your files. All I get are blank sheets of paper. I haven't received an email from you with the lesson. Could you please email them to me at: bvenden@stjosephccschool.net ? Thank you.

Dear Kevin,
Regarding the point-of-view lesson, I opened it with an unzip program, but when the point-of-view icon comes up, and I open it, the pages are blank. If you could send it to me, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

I purchased your point-of-view lesson, but I can't get it to open. I'm not very familiar with zip files. Is there something special I need to do? Thank you. Betsy Venden

Betsy, do you have an unzip program? If not, they are free and easy to download. Do you have a Mac or PC? Otherwise, if you give me your email, I think I can email it to you directly.
