Together we will create a story that is written from the point of view of Papa Bear instead of Goldilocks. We will compare how the two points of view differ, how they are similar and how the story changes. In reading groups, students will re-write Goldilocks from the point of view of one bear, being sure to note how the main character is feeling throughout the story. Students will use the modeled story exemplar to assist them in writing.
