This Grade 5 medium worksheet focuses on POV shifts and how a story changes when retold by a new narrator. Students complete fill-in items about narrator access and author choices, then match writing samples like diaries and cookbooks to the correct POV. The tasks help Grade 5 learners see that POV controls what the reader knows, feels, and notices, building skills they will need for harder analysis questions in upper grades.
Style:
Point of View and Narrator
Part A: Fill in the Blank

4. Switching from first-person to third-person changes how close the narrator feels.
5. When a story uses I, the narrator is also a character in the story.
6. An omniscient narrator can move between scenes to follow many characters at once.
7. Authors choose POV to control what information the reader knows.
8. When only one character's thoughts appear, the reader may not know another character's true feelings.
9. Retelling the same event from a different POV can reveal new details and motives.
