Below you will find some reminders about point of view that will help them with their work.

1st person
The narrator is telling the story and is a character in the story. Clue words to identify 1st person include: I, me, we, and us

3rd person
The narrator is an observer and not a character in the story. Clue words to identify 3rd person include: he, she, they, and the character's name

Three Types of 3rd Person Point of View

1. limited- The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of one character.
2. omniscient- The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters.
3. objective-  The narrator does not reveal what any character thinks or feels.
