Point of View Worksheets and Craft Activity with Four Practice Passages

Here's a hands-on, creative way for your students to practice identifying the four main points of view as they read! This is an engaging activity where your students complete two worksheets with four short passages. On each worksheet, they identify which point of view the author used in each story. Then, they use their worksheets to assemble the craftivity. The finished products make a unique bulletin board or fun school hallway display! It can also be used as a novel entry in an interactive notebook!

The points of view include:

• First Person
• Second Person
• Third Person Limited
• Third Person Omniscient

PRINT CRAFTIVITY VERSION-

Students read slightly different versions of the same short story. (The same story is written using four different points of view by the author. Because of this, it truly highlights the differences between the four points of view.) After reading each story, students determine the point of view that was used by the author who wrote the story.

When they finish the worksheets, they can begin the craftivity! Student-friendly directions are included so that you can place the directions under your document camera, and students may refer to them as they complete the project. Students glue a passage and a gift onto construction paper. They write the point of view used in the passage on the front of the gift. Then, beneath the gift's lid, they justify their answer.

TPT DIGITAL EASEL VERSION-

This is a paperless version that can be completed on a device. It contains 4 slides. Each slide contains a present image and a reading passage. Students read the passage and write the point of view on the lid of the gift. They justify their answer by typing an explanation in the answer box beneath each gift. Finally, students highlight the pronouns in the passage's narration that helped them determine which point of view was used by the author.

A Google Slides version/link is also included.

Here's what teachers like you had to say about using this point of view activity with their students:

⭐️ Laura K. said, "Great way to compare and contrast the way point of view!"

⭐️ Mariah M. said, "I loved using this with my students to assess Point of View. I used this as a formative assessment after teaching point of view for a few days. I love that I can get a gauge on how my students are understanding the task, and that they don't even realize I am assessing them!"

⭐️ Mallory S. said, "I loved this activity!! It was great! It was an engaging activity to use before break, where the students thought they were having fun and not learning."
