Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to write from a different point of view.
  • Students will be able to share their points of view through writing and pictures.

Introduction

(15 minutes)
  • Ask your students what it means to have a different point of view, or to think like someone or something else. Possible discussion questions include: What does it mean to have a different point of view? Can you predict what something or someone is thinking? What are some things a cat might think throughout a day?
  • Tell students that they are going to practice writing from another point of view.
  • Read The Great Fuzz Frenzy aloud to the class.
  • Ask your students which characters are telling the story. How do they know? Explain that they'll be practicing being a narrator, or a person who tells stories from their own point of view.
  • Hand out writing and drawing paper. Tell your students that it can help to draw before telling a story, but that they are free to write and draw in any order.
