This resource is a framework for teaching perspective taking through narrative texts using a story map and explicit instruction of mental state vocabulary. Students identify key points in the story and discuss characters’ thoughts and feelings throughout the narrative.
This resource is a tool for conducting observations to assess and improve teacher-student and student-student interactions, with a focus on open-ended questions and extended conversations to promote the development of student listening comprehension skill.
In this activity students will evaluate their understanding of a text they have heard. If students are having difficulty with understanding they will choose a “fix up” strategy.
