Point of View (Informational Texts)

With help, the student demonstrates partial success at 2.0 and 3.0.

I can identify text types, which are generally firsthand accounts (such as letters, diary entries, autobiographies, and speeches) and secondhand accounts (such as articles, encyclopedia entries, history books, and biographies).

I can explain that a firsthand account is a primary source, and a secondhand account is a secondary source.

Vocabulary:

point of view, first hand account, second hand account

I can compare and contrast a firsthand and secondhand account of the same event or topic.

I can describe the differences in focus of firsthand and secondhand accounts and the information provided.
