Instructor Feedback: “How might you use your story to support students to consider different
perspectives?”
In Chapter three of Digital Storytelling (Ohler, 2013), Ohler discusses how digital
storytelling can be used as an educational tool in terms of content standards and literacy. One of
the California 4th grade ELA content standards, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.4.3, says that
students will be able to write narrative to develop real or imagined experiences (Common Core,
2021). Standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.6 states that “students will be able to compare
and contrast the point of view from which different stories are narrated, including the difference
between first- and third-person narrations” (Common Core, 2021). I can use my story to help
students better understand and consider the idea of perspective and point of view. My story is a
work of fiction, because it is a personal narrative, from the perspective of a dog. Even though I
am writing my story from a first-person point of view, I am not writing the story from my point
of view. My story can help students consider the creative twists that they can implement when it
comes to writing works of fiction.
