Onward to another author's style... Figurative Language!

My 7th grade kiddos have been learning about the different types of point of view and why authors choose different ones for different purposes. Not familiar with point of view? It's the stand point from which a story is told. The 5 different types of point of view are: 1st person, 2nd Person, 3rd Person Objective, 3rd Person Limited, and 3rd Person Omniscient! The pictures below, are of a project I adapted from an excellent blog called "Teach With a Mountain View". Students chose a magazine picture and then used that image to write from ALL of the different points of view. This was done over the course of a week. There was always a shared writing as a class before the independent writing workshop! I could only snap a few photos of certain projects due to it being hard to see. I had the kiddos write in pencil for a quick and easy revision/editing process! However, the ones that were clear for picture taking are so clever and witty! If I happen to do this project again in the future, we will definitely collaborate & write this on google docs! This was a such an engaging way to explore writing in different points of view! :) After drafting and revising, students peer edited each other's work for convention issues and self assessed their writing! I love using the Readwritethink.org rubrics and checklists! They are super kid friendly!

Amen. That's a worthy quote.
