Narrator’s Lens Answer Key

In this worksheet, students explore how a narrator’s attitude shapes the mood or tone of a story. They read four short passages and analyze how the narrator’s perspective influences the reader’s emotional response-whether joyful, eerie, disappointed, or excited. The extension task challenges students to rewrite one passage from a different narrator’s lens, such as changing a cheerful tone to a grumpy one. This exercise deepens understanding of voice, tone, and perspective, helping students see how word choice and mood interact in storytelling.
