Understanding Point of View

Introduction

Understanding the author's point of view is critical element in increasing reaching comprehension. An author uses different points of view to shape and refine ideas that they want to convey in their story. Using different points of view creates depth and interest in any story that uses them effectively. In the video below, you will watch a Khan Academy video that identifies each point of view. At the end of this activity, you will be able to identify each point of view and explain how it shapes and refines the idea conveyed in a story.

Point of View:

1. 1st Person
2. 2nd Person
3. Third Person Objective
4. Third Person Limited
5. Third Person Omniscient
