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.
The Three Levels of Questions instructional strategy can support practitioners in providing students with an opportunity to engage with a text in increasingly complex ways.
In this activity students will identify cause and effect relationships throughout a read aloud. This activity can be modified so students are only engaging with oral text responding through discussion.
