All of the above-mentioned questions can be asked by a teacher to analyze point of view in expository subject matter. The teacher's goal should be to promote the students' understanding that when reading a persuasive essay, the reader needs to be open-minded and look for supporting evidence. Creating an understanding of all points of view can help relate the students to the subject matter and the students can then evaluate all points of view.
