What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students explain that point of view is how a person sees or thinks about a situation. They give an example from school or home where two people see the same event differently.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can explain why indoor recess sounds fun to a child who likes drawing but disappointing to a child who wanted soccer. They can describe a time their own view differed from a friend's.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think everyone feels the same way about an event because it happened to everyone. They may call someone else's view wrong just because it differs from theirs.
How to Assess It
- On an exit slip, ask: “Rain keeps your class inside at recess. What does point of view mean? Give two different points of view about staying inside.”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs paper puppets, one eager to draw and one eager to play soccer; have them act out hearing that recess is indoors.
Ask, “How might you and a classmate feel differently if the teacher changes your seats? Why?”
Make two character cards, “loves bus rides” and “gets carsick”; students match each to a reaction when a field trip is canceled.
Ask students how a bus rider and a walker might feel about a rainy trip to school, then share their own view.
