Point of View

“Imagine a story about a class pet hamster. How would the story be different if it was told from the hamster's point of view (first person) instead of the teacher's point of view (third person)? Think about a time you and a friend disagreed about something that happened. How might the story of that event be different depending on whether you or your friend is telling it? Explain which point of view each person would use (first, second, or third). A story is written in third person about a girl who is nervous about trying out for the school play. How might the story change if it was written in first person from the girl's point of view? What would the reader know that they might not know in the third-person version?”
