hear what is going on.

on the inside cover of your booklet.
 We are learning about four types of Point of View
Four Types of POV

 First Person
 Second Person
 Third Person Limited
 Third Person Omniscient
First Person

 Uses the active voice of the primary character (I, me,
mine, we, us, our, etc.). The reader only knows that
character’s point of view.
 Be sure to write this definition in your own words on page
2 of your booklet.
 Include a short illustration that explains the definition
 You have 2 minutes to complete this task.
Second Person

 Use of the imperative mood and the pronouns you, your,
and yours to address a reader or listener directly.
 Be sure to write this definition in your own words on page
3 of your booklet.
 Include a short illustration that explains the definition
 You have 2 minutes to complete this task.
Third Person Limited

 Told in the grammatical 3rd person (he, she, they, etc.) but
told from one character’s point of view. The reader only
sees, hears, and knows what that character sees, hears,
and knows. (what you know is LIMITED).
 Be sure to write this definition in your own words on
page 4 of your booklet.
 Include a short illustration that explains the definition
Third Person Omniscient

 Told in the grammatical 3rd person; the narrator is
assumed to be omniscient or all-knowing. The reader
knows what all of the characters know.
Onion Ring!

• I will divide you into two groups.
• You will form an Onion Ring (one outer circle, one
inner circle)
• I will ask a questions and you will be given a total of
1 minute to respond to your partner.
• Next, the inner circle rotates one person to the left.
Student #1 will determine what type of POV
the sentence is.
• Student #2 either agrees or disagrees and must
justify their answer.
Onion Ring Rules

 Each student should be discussing Point of View only!
 Make sure you are using an appropriate voice level (No
yelling)
 Stay in your assigned area until Ms. Casey instructs you to
move
 Hands remain at your side, do not touch other students.
 Failure to do so is an automatic trip to the reflection desk.
Practice 1

John thought they were going to
win the game. Kenneth thought
the team was going to lose.
Crystal hadn’t decided what she
thought yet.

what everyone is thinking)
Practice 2

She was sure there was someone following her.
She walked faster, but the sense of foreboding
closed in around her like a cold hand clenching
around her spine. When she turned to look behind
her, the street was deserted.
3rd person limited (we only know what ONE
character thinks)
Practice 3

As a student, your education
matters. Remember that, it is your
responsibility as a young adult and as
student to get your work done and to give
your best effort in all that you do.
2nd person
Practice 4

I was sure there was someone following me. I
walked faster, but the sense of foreboding closed
in around me like a cold hand clenching around
my spine. When I turned to look behind me, the
street was deserted.
1st person
Practice 5

“I’m going to the store,” Ashley said, leaving the
room. She gathered her things, making sure she

Practice 6

Everyone knew that you didn’t wear shoes like
that to school. Katherine couldn’t help but
wonder what the new girl was thinking, making
such a poor fashion choice on her first day at a
new school.
 3rd person limited. It says “everyone knew” but
that’s one person’s individual thought.
