Multiple Points of View

Directions: Read a news article from todays New York Times and identify four different points of view from the
article in the four boxes below. Point of view could be directly stated in the article (through a quotation) or you
could figure out a possible point of view based on information in the article. For example, if the article reports
recent election results but only quotes the winning candidate, you could infer that the losing candidate and his
or her constituents would represent additional points of view about the election. At the bottom of this sheet,
summarize two of the four points of view in more detail.
