Description

Engaging activities for teaching author’s point of view are now at your fingertips! Pique your students’ interest and get them thinking critically about authors’ points of view using two high-interest nonfiction passages in this comprehensive all-in-one resource. Students will read two texts, or paired passages, with opposing viewpoints on the topic of zoos to identify each author’s point of view while formulating their own opinion to the question- Do zoos help animals of the wild?

Each passage includes facts and opinions that support the author’s point of view. The first passage supports zoos and claims they are beneficial in helping endangered animals. The second passage does not support zoos and claims they fail to help the survival of endangered species. Students will love weighing the pros and cons of this topic and debating their stance with their peers. Students will also analyze how the photos in the articles support the author's viewpoint. (RI3.7)

These flipbooks are easy to prep. Just print, fold, staple, and teach OR assign in Google Classroom and go!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alexandra V. wrote- "This resource really helped my students understand the author's viewpoint. It also helped introduce my students to strong opinion writing and the way we use evidence to support our thinking. Thank you for making such an engaging and wonderful resource!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beth A. wrote- "This was a great resource to practice text evidence as well as to do along with opinion writing. I did this along with a unit on the One and Only Ivan, and my students loved it. The text was a little challenging for some of my lower level readers but worked great with a text to speech app."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catherine T. wrote- "I am so thankful for this resource! :) Not only were the topics very engaging for my students, but it was very thorough in covering Author's Point of View/ Perspective! I love that it also incorporated text features by having students think about how the photographs included by the author reveal their perspective."
