The point of view is the method used to tell the story to the reader or audience. Fiction often uses a number of ways to employ the point of view of a story is told into height the mood of the story and to elevate the audience's enthusiasm. There are three primary points of view. The first-person point of view is a commonly used way to tell a story. Using this method, a character from the story narrates the story. You can generally sense this by the use of sentences that include the word "I". Less commonly used in extended works the second person point of view is formed around the sentence you. This allows the author to draw the reader into the actual story. Being able to write in a number of different viewpoints is not easy, only master writers are able to perfect the use of all these forms. In some cases, authors will switch the view point in the middle of the work.

One of the biggest obstacles for English students is to learn how to write from different points of view. With the first person being the easiest point of writing view to learn, you want to focus on the worksheets that challenge your kids to look at writing from a second and third person point of view. After learning about the three primary distinct views, teachers should then move into the more difficult third person derivative view points that expand the literary talents of your class. Students are taught to respect different points of view and to debate those view. We now want them to express their own points through writing and discussion.
