Point of View



  Point of View (lower-middle elementary)
Imagine an apple and orange having an argument over who is the best fruit. Write some dialogue on what they might say (e.g., Apple: “I am red, that’s better than orange!” Orange: “No, it is not.”). 
Have you learned about a famous person in history? Imagine you are that person and write a letter to your teacher about what great things you did in your life. 
If you were your best friend, what would you say to you? Write a short paragraph that describes the conversation. 
Imagine you are a meteor headed for earth. Write a short paragraph about what you might be thinking or what you might want to say to the earth or the people on it. 
Who is your favorite character in a book or movie? Pretend to be that character. Get yourself in a difficult situation that you have to solve. Write a short story  about it.
Point of View (Middle-Secondary) 
Imagine you are the president of the United States. Write a public address about how you plan to improve education for everyone in America. 
Think about the last fiction book you enjoyed that was told in first person. Now, pick a secondary character and write from his or her point of view about something that happened in the story. 
What person in history has impressed you? Pick an event that the person played a role in to write about. Now, from his or her point of view, write an editorial for the newspaper explaining your thoughts and actions on that event (e.g., Rosa Parks refusing to sit at the back of the bus). 
Research a famous inventor or scientist. Pick one of his or her greatest discoveries or inventions and write about the moment of the discovery from that person’s point of view.
