Power Of Perspective

Worksheet Description

This Fiction worksheet is designed to help students explore the various narrative perspectives used in fiction: 1st Person, 3rd Person Limited, and 3rd Person Omniscient.

• 1st Person: Students will examine the advantages and limitations of 1st person narration, where the story is told from the viewpoint of one character. They will consider how this perspective provides insight into the narrator’s thoughts and feelings but limits knowledge of other characters.
• 3rd Person Limited: This section explores the benefits and constraints of 3rd Person Limited narration, where the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of one character. Students will learn how this perspective balances character depth with some narrative distance.
• 3rd Person Omniscient: The worksheet discusses the advantages and limitations of 3rd Person Omniscient narration, where the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all characters. Students will analyze how this perspective offers comprehensive insight but may reduce personal connection.

By analyzing these narrative perspectives, students will gain a deeper understanding of how point of view shapes the reading experience and author’s storytelling choices.
