Point of View Stories

We've been reading the story When I Went to the Library by Ken Roberts.  This is a humorous story written from a young girl's point of view as she is apologizing for bringing a snake into the local library.  Our class worked in groups today to rewrite the story from another point of view.  They wrote it from the point of view of the other kids in the library, Mr. Winston (library employee), the ambulance driver, Cara's parents, and the snake.  Each group presented their finished stories to the class.  I was impressed by their creativity and use of details in their stories.  Way to go 4th grade!
