Perspectives: A Bundle of Activities focusing on Identifying Point of View

This bundle has everything you need to keep your students engaged as they learn how to identify the author's point of view, or perspective. The activities in this bundle make learning about perspectives in reading fun and easy! Students love the activities while teachers love the convenience of these no-prep resources that can be used year after year! These point of view/perspective activities can be used for test prep, review, or introduction of the skill. It includes a PowerPoint, 6 worksheets, a craftivity with another worksheet, 5 partner plays, and a Google Forms activity that can be used as task cards or as an assessment.

What's included... To gain a better idea of everything included, please check out the individual PREVIEW for each resource:

Here's what teachers like you have to say about using these author's perspective activities with their students:

⭐️ Elini N. said, "I loved this resource! The students were very engaged by all of the different stories and there were ways to integrate drama with the materials."

⭐️ Betsy G. said, "This is a must-have product. I LOVE your bundled resources. THE POWERPOINT COMPANION HANDOUT is the bomb! ;o) Your resources engage my 6th-grade special education kiddos. I was nervous that my middle schoolers might find the graphics somewhat immature, but they LOVE them!"

⭐️ Elementary Adventures in SoCal said, "One of the best products I have bought off TPT. Extremely useful for my third graders."

⭐️ Mikey D. said, "Perspective is a topic that gives a lot of my kids trouble. I can honestly say that your unit and resources helped me, and more importantly, them, overcome this hurdle... The kids loved this and I am grateful for such a well-planned and well-executed unit!"
