Whose Point of View?

Aligned to RL.3.6 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

What this lesson teaches

The narrator or a character has their own feelings about what happens. Your own opinion might be different from theirs.

Worked example

A character may love a rainy day, but you might wish it were sunny — that is your point of view, not the character's.

Practice questions

  1. Tell how a character feels about an event.
  2. Tell how you feel about that same event.
  3. Explain one way your view is different from the character's.

¿De Quién Es el Punto de Vista?

El narrador o un personaje tiene sus propios sentimientos sobre lo que pasa. Tu opinión puede ser diferente a la de ellos.

Ejemplo: A un personaje le puede encantar un día lluvioso, pero tú quizás quisieras que hiciera sol — ese es tu punto de vista, no el del personaje.
