Classroom Application

Students recognize the differences in the points of view of characters. When reading aloud, students use different voices for each character.

In the Classroom:

Using a different color for each character, the teacher highlights the text to indicate which character is speaking. While reading text aloud, the teacher helps students identify how the characters are thinking and feeling. The teacher and students consider how they might express those thoughts or feelings when reading what the characters say. For example, the teacher might ask what “voice” (loud, quiet, afraid, excited) might best fit each character. Students can then read that part of the text in the voice of that character.
