Small job
Make a reversible mini theatre: one side shows the captain’s view, the other the pebble’s. Use identical event cards so the perspectives can be compared.
Make and try
-
Read or hear both complete matched sources. Choose one of their readers, character views or practical jobs.

-
Make a small first version using the day's child direction: ‘Whose eyes are we using? Keep the event. Change what the character notices.’
-
Try it with a willing reader, or use the supplied reader question/answer. Record which was used. Nobody has to interview or perform publicly.
-
Choose one useful change or explain one part you keep. Put the source note and any adult help beside the work.
Another option
Use the other complete matched source for a second version after introducing it; compare reader fit rather than page count.
Time
20–40 minutes across sittings, unpiloted; ordinary teaching and feedback, not a scored assignment.
What this can show
Look for a preserved event and a specific changed noticing or language effect. Preferences need a reason tied to the story, not agreement with the teacher’s taste.
