7th grade point of view worksheets

Tap to see another sample sheet.

Seventh grade point of view worksheets put two viewpoints side by side: a narrator and a character who read the same moment differently, a story told in two voices, a teller whose version the story quietly corrects. Questions ask how the author builds each view and where the views clash.

Flag Fall

In the last round of the county chess championship, with the title on the board, Arjun Mehta decided that his opponent was mocking him. The opponent was a sixth grader named Wendell Park, small for his age, who sat perfectly still and moved his pieces…

  1. What point of view does the author use? third person limited, close to Arjun's thoughts and feelings · first person, told by Arjun after the tournament · third-person omniscient, showing what both players think during the game · third person limited, close to Wendell's thoughts

    Answer: third person limited, close to Arjun's thoughts and feelings

  2. Why does the reader at first share Arjun's belief that Wendell is mocking him? the game is shown only through Arjun, who reads Wendell's stillness as scorn · Wendell says something rude after the knight sacrifice · the narrator states outright that Wendell thinks Arjun is no threat · Wendell refuses to shake Arjun's hand at the start

What's on a 7th grade sheet

7th grade sheets draw from 15 passages, 405 to 475 words long. 7th and 8th grade print from the same 15 passages. What changes is the standard (RL.7.6 here) and the teaching notes below. None of these passages are on 6th grade sheets. On 6th grade sheets they run 296 to 305 words.

Some of the titles: The Radio in the Garage, Same Boat, Guard Duty, Eleven Boards, The Jam Entry, The Toss.

Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key on the last page.

How to teach this

Retell one event twice. Have your student tell a moment from the story the way the narrator saw it, then the way another character would. The details that change are the author's tools. Most questions at this level ask about exactly those differences.

Watch for: Pronouns in dialogue fool everyone. A third-person story can be full of characters saying I; the point of view lives in the telling sentences, outside the quotation marks. First person is not just a pronoun choice. It limits what the story can know: an I-narrator cannot report another character's private thoughts, and the best questions test exactly that.

Common questions about 7th grade point of view

What does seventh grade add to point of view?
The standard adds contrast: it asks how an author develops and contrasts the points of view of different characters or narrators, so the stories set two views of one event against each other. Students still name the teller. Then they explain how the views differ and why.
Are all the stories told in first person?
No. First and third person are mixed on purpose, along with narrators who get things wrong and scenes where the reader knows more than the characters do. Each print picks a story at random from the grade's set, with an answer key at the end.
