Using Firsthand and Secondhand Accounts Activity, students read both firsthand and secondhand accounts of the same event to describe the differences in the information provided.
A character’s dialogue and actions can give your students a lot of information about what they are thinking and feelings. This activity will help your students to learn more about firsthand and secondhand point accounts.
Read both accounts of the same event. Using the text, describe the differences in focus and the information provided.
If you are using this activity, your students are probably learning about point of view.
Use this My Point of View Activity as an additional resource for your students.
Introduce this activity by having students share with a partner what happened this morning at school. Next, students swap roles and the other partner shares what happened this morning. Students share why the two stories weren’t exactly the same. Then, students complete the activity independently or with a partner. Finally, students share what they have learned about point of view. Have students explain why both firsthand and secondhand accounts are important to read.
