Third Person Limited POV

Worksheet Description

This Character Development worksheet is tailored to help students write from a third-person limited point of view (POV). It outlines how this perspective affects the portrayal of characters, focusing on their physical description, what the character says and does, what other characters say about them, and the narrator’s direct commentary on the character. The worksheet encourages students to consider how they would utilize these character development techniques while maintaining the constraints and intimacy of the third-person limited POV.

The worksheet teaches students the nuances of character development within the third-person limited perspective. It shows them how to delve into a character’s personality and story by presenting their thoughts, actions, and others’ perceptions within the limited knowledge scope of the third-person limited narrator. By guiding students to think about how to express their character’s attributes and the opinions of others while staying true to the limited knowledge of the narrator, the worksheet fosters a deeper understanding of how perspective shapes storytelling. This exercise helps students develop skills in crafting a rich and focused narrative voice.
