everyone at Wallace’s
house or would you rather
go to the fair?

the losing “game ball”?

“Mellow out”? What was

Questions are presented in an interview format
− This allows students to approach the question or task at
hand from different characters’ points of view and
perspectives
Students have the option to respond to a situation
Brings up inferential thinking (based on prior knowledge and
evidence), role playing, and writing in the first person
− This can help ideas flow.
− This is helpful for students who are shy or who on
average struggle getting their own ideas on paper
Allows for collaborative and interactive effort between peers
Allows for role playing and writing in the first person
This can also help students compile their thoughts or think
abstractly.
The POGV theme helps when students find it difficult to
summarize stories or themes
