Lesson 1: Fairytales and Characters Point of View
This week, students will be hearing a common fairy tale, but they will be hearing the story from two different points of view. Explain Point of View. Here is a small poster that you could print out ahead of time to use in your explanation. You can also use the BrainPop video: Point of View. For this lesson, you may read your favorite version of Little Red Riding Hood of use the video below. After hearing the story ask about characters, setting, problem and solution. Then, read Honestly, Red Riding Hood was Rotten!: the Story of Little Red Riding Hood as Told by the Wolf by Trisha Speed Shaskan.
Compare and contrast how they are the same and different.
Lesson 2: Whose Side Are You on Anyway?
Review point of view and the two stories. You may want them to refer to the Venn diagram that was complete in lesson 1.
Ask students to choose who they feel was in the right. Ask them to fill out the worksheet, using complete sentences, as this will be their script for the actual project.
Collect these sheets to be used for the next library class.
Lesson 3: Making a Video using Google Vids (This lesson may take two days.)
*Pending IT releasing Vids to primary students.
Use the "Intro to Google Vids" video to help students learn how to create a Google Vid for their project. You can have them customized their slides as much as you'd like and as much as your library time will allow. Have students record themselves reading the answers from the worksheet. If time permits, have them customize their slide. You can have them share the video with you, upload them onto a Google Slide and then share them all with the class or the teacher.
*If Vids doesn't get approved, to the same activity using ChatterPix kids. The students can take a selfie and decorate themselves to look like the character they are agreeing with.
