Description
How to teach Point of View
Using this Whose Point of View Compare and Contrast Activity, students identify whether a story is being told in a first- or third-person POV, while comparing and contrasting the two.
A character’s dialogue and actions can give your students a lot of information about what they are thinking and feelings. This activity will help your students to learn more about the characters and author’s points of view on a topic.
Cut out and laminate the story cards and the First-Person and Third-Person trees. Also print the First-Person and Third-Person worksheet. Students will compare and contrast the POV from which different stories are narrated, including the difference between first- and third-person narration. Sort the story cards under the appropriate point of view tree.

Finally, students share what they have learned about the differences between first- and third-person POV.
