Three Voice Rewrite

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 explore how narrator voice shapes storytelling, even when events remain the same. Students read a short neutral scene and rewrite it three times-once in a formal voice, once in a humorous voice, and once in a dramatic voice-practicing deliberate changes in word choice, pacing, sentence structure, and tone to create distinct narrative styles.

Learning Goals

• Point of View and Narrator Voice (Grades 4-6) – Write from different narrator voices while keeping the same core events.
• Tone and Style in Narrative Writing – Adjust language, rhythm, and structure to create formal, humorous, and dramatic effects.
• Comparing Author’s Craft – Analyze how voice choices change the reader’s experience of the same scene.
• Creative Writing Techniques – Experiment with stylistic variation while maintaining clarity and consistency.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to support narrative writing and craft standards.
• Side-by-Side Comparison – The structured format helps students clearly see how voice changes meaning and mood.
• Flexible Classroom Use – Works well for writing workshops, small groups, independent practice, or assessment.
• Supports Revision Skills – Encourages intentional rewriting rather than surface-level edits.

This printable worksheet helps students understand that narrative voice is a powerful tool that reflects author intent and stylistic choice. By rewriting the same scene in three distinct voices, learners build confidence in tone control, creative flexibility, and craft analysis. It is a no-prep resource suitable for both classroom and homeschool settings that strengthens narrative writing and awareness of author voice.
