Some students have difficulty grasping point of view. It can be a difficult skill for students to understand. What better way to help your students review this than with a student centered project? Check this one out:
Point of View Manual Project – Students create a manual defining and demonstrating each point of view. Then they provide readers with instructions on how to identify the narrator’s perspective.

/ September 10, 2014Thank you so Much from a first year, first time reading teacher. I thank you for all the information, as do my 6th, 7th and 8th graders! I was struggling to figure out how to do this in a title 1 school with students who think reading is limited to reading a text message, I really love the ideas you put forth in your various pp and activities that integrate with material.
Thank you!

/ April 10, 2014I just want to add my voice of support here. This is such a well put together website. It is so cohesive and comprehensive. I love the multiple options for worksheets and practice. The PPTs are well done and clear.
I have been teaching narrative perspective for several years to a wide range of age groups and ESL abilities. This is by far the best website I have come across.
BRILLIANT!
As a small aside, I have found that the PDF link on this page (http://www.ereadingworksheets.com/point-of-view/point-of-view-activities/point-of-view-manual-project/) doesn’t seem to be working. It seems to redirect back to the same page rather than the PDF. Just letting you know so you can fix the href tag at some point.
Excellent resource Mr. Morton. Keep up the great work!
Mr. Morton
/ April 21, 2014Thank you so much for saying so,
and for reporting the bad link.
I have fixed it.
Best wishes,
