Point of View in Fiction Texts

“Well, that’s just your point of view” isn’t a very nice thing to say to someone...but in writing, point of view is essential. In both fiction and nonfiction, figuring out the narrator’s point of view can help you understand the rest of the story, and the other characters as well. Use our worksheets, games, and activities when teaching point of view, or just as a refresher for a stuck student.
