Short Stories for Teaching Point of View

In today’s episode of the Teaching ELA Podcast, I discuss several short stories for teaching Point of View: “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Cask of Amontillado, “Contents of the DMP,” “Scarlet Ibis,” “Jumping Frog and “Sniper.” 

I’ve got an emergency lesson plan you can get on the board right. And if there’s one short story involving Point of View you need to teach, we have that, too.

Takeaways

There’s more to point of view than explaining 1st person and third person.Writing from a different point of view gives students opportunities to empathize and see things from a different perspective.Everything I do at the Teaching ELA podcast I try to see from your point of view..
