7th Grade - Objective vs. Subjective POV
Overview
This mini-lesson focuses on the skill of understanding what objective and subjective writing look like and their respective purposes. Students need to be able to understand and identify objective and subjective writing in order to comprehend an author's purpose and make informed decisions about what is being conveyed in the text.
Introduction
Depending on your purpose for writing, you may want to express yourself using strictly facts OR by stating what you feel or think. These two points of view in writing are called objective and subjective point of view.
As a reader, it is important to know if what you're reading is based on the author's opinion or if it is universally true. This can help you decode the text, understand the intent of the author, and help you form your own opinions about what you're reading.
In this lesson, you will...
