Point of View and
How It Affects the
Story

 Ms. Ferrell and Ms. Slodek
 TPS Elementary Librarians
What is point of view?

 Point of View is the author’s perspective
  of the story; what he/she sees or writes.
 First person – uses I and me. Ben
  Franklin wrote about electricity, “ I was
  never before engaged in any study that
  so totally engrossed my attention and
  my time.” This quote is from Ben
  Franklin by Peter and Connie Roop.
 Second person – uses you. From
 Laura Numeroff’s book 10-Step
 Guide to Living with Your
 Monster, she writes, “When
 choosing a monster, do not pick
 one who grabs you and starts to
 eat your shirt.”
person – uses he/him and/or
 Third
 she/she. From Dr. Seuss’s The 500
 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins he
 wrote, “In the beginning, Bartholomew
 Cubbins didn’t have 500 hats. He
 had only one hat.”.
How does point of view affect the story?
 When Franklin writes, “I was never before
  engaged in any study that so totally
  engrossed my attention and my time,” can
  you believe him? Why?
 What makes the writing authentic?
 How would the sentence change with the
  pronoun He was never before engaged . .
  .?
 First person uses I/me, and it directly
  connects the person to the event.
 Numeroff writes, “When choosing a
  monster, do not pick one who grabs you
  and starts to eat your shirt.” Is she giving
  the reader instructions?
 How do you know?
 How do you know this is written in second
  person?
 Do you have a good way to remember?
 You rhymes with two.
   Get out a sheet of paper and something to
    write with. We are going to practice writing in
   1st person – uses I or me
   2nd person – uses you
   3rd person – uses he/she or him/her.
   Make a table with 3 columns.
   Look at the picture. Choose a character, and
    write a statement that he/she would say in
    1st, 2nd, and 3rd person.
   I will model it for you; you will do it from a
    different character. Make sure we can
    recognize your character by what he says.
Character      1st person 2nd person 3rd person
George         “Why am I     You should   He was a
Washington     standing up   be rowing    great
               in this       faster,      general for
               boat?”        please.      the
                                          Continental
                                          Army.

a different
person in
the picture.
