R.L. 3.6
Prepared by Penelope Macias

Learning Objective:

Students will identify their point of view on the fiction story The True Story of the 3 Little
Pigs. Students will demonstrate an understanding by completing an exit ticket and
writing a complete sentence with evidence to support their response.

Common Core Standards & ELD Standards:

R.L 3.6 Distinguish their own point of view from that of the narrator or those of the
characters.

S.L.3.1 Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups,

ideas and expressing their own clearly.

S.L.3.3 Ask and answer questions about information from a speaker, offering
appropriate elaboration and detail.

ELD:

● 1. Exchanging information and ideas with others through oral collaborative

Introduction:

Have student volunteers read the learning target and agenda.

Review the meaning of Point of View and discuss that it is ok to have differing points of
view.

Direct Instruction:

Explain to students that point of view is the viewpoint in which the story is told. It can
come from the narrator, author, or characters.

Guided Practice:

We will review the venn diagram that we made in class the day before comparing the
two stories: The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf and The True Story of the 3 Little
Pigs. We will discuss the viewpoints of the two stories to compare and contrast the
differences and similarities. This will help activate students' prior knowledge.

I will then ask students to think about two questions as I re-read the story. What is the
Wolf’s point of view? What evidence from the text supports this? Do you agree or disagree
with this point of view?

Closure:

After re-reading the story we will pause for discussion and analyze the points of view
from each story. We will revisit a few pages of the text to highlight evidence that shows
the Wolf’s point of view. We will look at our exit ticket and begin working on it as a class,
so that students are provided with scaffolding prior to their independent practice. First
we will work together to explain the pigs point of view. Then we will go over the prompt
for our exit ticket:Think about the Wolf in The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. What is his
point of view? Provide evidence from the text to support your answer. Explain your own
point of view using a complete sentence.

Independent Practice:

After we fill in the pig’s point of view as a class, students will complete the middle box to
input the point of view of the wolf. Students will be expected to write a complete
sentence with evidence from the text. Then independently they will input their own
point of view and if they agree or disagree with the characters of the story.
