Exploring Author's Perspective in Literature

In this video, Misko Pack teaches how to determine an author's perspective by being a 'mind reader.' The process involves identifying text evidence to understand what the author thinks about a topic. Examples from books like 'Foods Around the World' and 'The Grand Canyon' illustrate how to find clues in the text. Students are tasked with applying these skills to a book about coral reefs, using a chart to document their findings.
