More About This Resource:

This resource is intentionally scaffolded to support upper elementary learners across 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade.

Students begin by identifying the speaker in a poem and spotting pronouns to determine 1st person vs 3rd person point of view.

Next, they compare two poems on a similar topic to analyze how point of view changes feelings, details, and what the reader learns.

Finally, students work with more complex comparisons (including poetry vs informational text) to deepen comprehension and explain how the author’s perspective influences description and meaning.
