Writers choose to tell their stories from a point of view that best suits their purpose.
These activities will encourage children to try writing from two different points of view. If possible, read the child's writing exercise and provide suggestions for changes. When a story is told in the first-person, the storyteller is one of the characters in the story. When a story is told in the third person, the storyteller can tell us what any of the people in the story think and feel. Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey along came a spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away.
