Standard 3: Critical Reading and Writing

Students will apply critical thinking skills to reading and writing.

READING: Students will comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and respond to a variety of complex texts of all literary and informational genres from a variety of historical, cultural, ethnic, and global perspectives.

4.3.R.2 Students will infer whether a story is narrated in first or third person point of view in grade-level literary and/or informational text.

Student Actions 

Teacher Actions 

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.

  • Students will identify and describe the features of a passage narrated in first person point of view.
  • Students will identify and describe the features of a story narrated in third person point of view.
  • Students will use features from the text to infer the narrator’s point of view.
  • Students can begin to learn this concept by using a wordless picture book. Students write the story, as they see it then share their stories in small groups or partners.
    • As a class, have groups share differences in the stories and guide students to realize that their stories were different even though they were seeing the same illustrations due to the point of view of the narrator.
  • Students can read fairy tales for this standard; they are so well known. New versions of fairy tales are often called fractured fairy tales. Summary of Lesson from Read, Write, Think
  • Students can be given  a topic (such as: snails) and four different characters to create a chart or flip book illustrating how each would feel about the topic.
    • Example:  a chef may think they are a delicious, a child might think their sparkly slime is cool, a teacher might say they are interesting creatures, and a gardener might say they are pests who eat garden plants.
  • Teachers explain that point of view is the way in which an author reveals a viewpoint or perspective using characters and narration.
  • Teachers explain that a passage narrated in first person point of view is when he or she is speaking directly about himself or herself (singular = I, me; plural = we, us).
  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to identify the features of a passage narrated in first person point of view.
  • Teachers explain that a passage narrated in third person point of view is when the narrator tells a story from someone else’s viewpoint and is not a character in the story (singular = he, him, she, it; plural = his, hers, its).
  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to identify the features of a passage narrated in third person point of view.
  • Teachers model how to use features from the text to infer whether the narrator’s point of view is in first or third person.
  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to use features from the text to infer whether the narrator’s point of view is in first or third person.
  • Teachers check for student understanding and provide feedback when making inferences to determine if a passage is in first or third person point of view.

    • Point of view: the way in which an author reveals a viewpoint or perspective. This can be done through characters, ideas, events, and narration.

      • First person point of view informs the reader of what only that character is thinking and feeling.

        • Pronouns: I, mine, me, we, ours

      • Third person is an outside narrator. Readers must infer the thoughts of the characters, or the narrator may be “all-knowing.”

        • Pronouns: he, she, it, his, hers, its, they

        • Two types of third-person point of view:

          • Omniscient third-person: narrator is all-knowing observer who can describe everything and can reveal every character’s thoughts and feelings.

          • Limited third-person: narrator views the world through a single character’s eyes.

    • Point of view impacts the text because the narrator provides or withholds information.
