Investigating Viewpoints

Worksheet Description

The “Exploring Point of View” worksheet encourages students to delve into the intricacies of narrative perspective in a story. By analyzing various aspects of the point of view, students gain a deeper understanding of how it shapes the storytelling.

Students are guided to summarize the story briefly, identify the point of view and its supporting evidence, locate a passage that uniquely reflects the chosen point of view, and consider how the story would change without it. They’re also prompted to contemplate alternative points of view and how they would affect the narrative.

Furthermore, students are encouraged to reflect on the author’s intent in selecting the specific point of view and how it contributes to the story’s overall impact and message.
