Viewpoint Switch

In this worksheet, students rewrite a first-person passage into third person, ensuring the new version maintains appropriate voice, tone, and wording for the changed point of view. The exercise helps students understand how point of view alters narrative distance, emotional expression, and descriptive detail. After completing the rewrite, students take on an additional challenge by rewriting the same scene using a new tone such as embarrassed, confident, dramatic, bored, or curious. This layered approach promotes flexible writing skills and strengthens understanding of how viewpoint and tone interact in storytelling.
