Point of View Shift

This worksheet asks students to compare a first-person diary-style excerpt with a third-person narrative excerpt. Students analyze how point of view affects the emotional tone, detail, and immediacy of the scene. The questions prompt students to consider personal perspective, descriptive distance, and narrative style. By comparing two approaches to the same type of event, students gain insight into how authors use point of view to shape reader experience.
