Point of view and perspective refer to the lens through which a story is told. They include first person (using "I"), second person (using "you"), third person (using "he," "she," or "they"), and omniscient narrators who know all characters’ thoughts and feelings. Understanding the narrator’s point of view helps readers interpret character motivation, interpret story events, and gain insight into the author’s intent.

By using these worksheets and activities, writers can practice expressing ideas from multiple perspectives, deepen comprehension, and strengthen empathy for diverse characters. Students can also analyze how different perspectives alter narrative tone, bias, and storytelling effects. These resources provide practical, hands-on ways to develop critical thinking, reading comprehension, and creative writing skills in a fun and structured manner.
