Description
Teach your students how to identify and analyze point of view in literature with this clear and comprehensive ELA lesson. This resource helps students understand how narration shapes meaning, perspective, and reader interpretation across a wide range of texts.
Students begin with a PowerPoint lesson on point of view that provides clear definitions and examples of first-person point of view, second-person point of view, third-person limited, third-person objective, third-person omniscient, and *unreliable narrators. The lesson breaks down each perspective in a student-friendly way, making it ideal for both initial instruction and review.
After direct instruction, students apply their learning using a printable practice worksheet that requires them to identify the narrative point of view in a variety of examples. This activity reinforces comprehension and helps students distinguish between similar perspectives, especially the different forms of third-person narration.
An answer key is included to support quick and accurate grading. Teachers also receive an editable Word document, allowing them to modify questions, adjust pacing, or tailor the lesson to meet specific classroom needs.
This point of view lesson is ideal for middle school and high school ELA classrooms, literary elements units, short story analysis, test preparation, or skill-based reading instruction.
