Better Lesson: Point to Main Idea/point of View in Literature

This lesson uses the story Corduroy by Don Freeman to teach the main idea and supporting details of a story, as well as what we mean by the character's point of view. The lesson is done using print materials and a whiteboard with markers, but could easily be adapted to use with an interactive whiteboard. Worksheets, samples of student work, and videos of them discussing their work are provided.
