Educational worksheet teaching students how to identify point of view in writing using short passages.

Problem: Determine the Point of View (POV) for Each Extract

The task is to identify the point of view used in each of the provided extracts. The point of view refers to the perspective from which a story is told, and it can be:

1. First Person: The narrator uses "I," "me," or "we" to tell the story.
2. Second Person: The narrator addresses the reader directly using "you."
3. Third Person: The narrator uses "he," "she," "it," or "they" to describe characters and events.

Let's analyze each extract step by step.

#### Extract 1:
> "And the proud crow stuck the peacock feathers all over his body. Then he flew away to show himself to his friends. He strutted about with his head held high. But they only laughed at him."

- Analysis: The narrator describes the actions of the crow ("he") and his friends without using "I," "me," or "you." The perspective is external, focusing on the crow and others.
- Point of View: Third Person

#### Extract 2:
> "Bam! Was right on both counts. I knew there was no way we could get out of this alive unless we had emergency landings before us. Nothing had ever gone wrong. This time it did. As soon as we nosed into the stratosphere we were in trouble."

- Analysis: The narrator uses "I" and "we," indicating that the story is being told from the perspective of one of the characters involved in the situation.
- Point of View: First Person

#### Extract 3:
> "The ball in the woman’s armpit nodded, and her doll accordingly pulled the horses aside, with another gun and a wink to his friend, and Miss Maybud and Mr. Pimpernel were saved."

- Analysis: The narrator describes the actions of the woman, her doll, and other characters using "the ball," "her doll," "Miss Maybud," and "Mr. Pimpernel." There is no use of "I," "me," or "you," and the perspective is external.
- Point of View: Third Person
