January 30 - February 3

Grade Five

I can use listening, reading, and viewing experiences as a model for producing 

my own oral, print, and media texts.

I can identify and discuss the character's point of view and motivation

 Point of View

    In grade five we are learning that understanding the point of view of a story is important because "who" tells the story affects how the reader connects with and interprets the story's characters, events and plot. 

    We started by looking at a familiar story being told from two different perspectives. The wolf from  the fairytale "The Three Little Pigs" is no longer portrayed as a villain in his version of the tale. 

    In "Voices in the Park" by Anthony Browne four different voices tell their own version of the same walk in the park. The short story contains many themes and became the inspiration for our own skits.

Student created "Snowy Day" skits depicting how five different family members react to a large dump of snow overnight.
