Purposeful POV Choice

In this worksheet, students read four narrative prompts and decide which point of view-first person, second person, or third person-would best serve the story. After choosing the most effective POV, they explain why their choice strengthens the narrative’s purpose. This task helps students analyze how perspective influences the reader’s experience, emotional engagement, and access to information. By justifying their reasoning, students practice critical thinking and deepen their understanding of narrative craft. The worksheet encourages them to think strategically about storytelling decisions.
