See Through Every Character’s Eyes: Perspective Writing for Class 5

This Class 5 worksheet introduces students to *perspective*—the point of view from which a story is told.  
Using clear examples on page 3 and 4, students learn the difference between **1st person (I, me, my)** and **3rd person (he, she, they)** narration.  
The worksheet guides learners through identifying narrative voices, rewriting sentences from a different point of view, writing two contrasting paragraphs for the same event, creating a mini-narrative from two characters’ perspectives, and even imagining the perspective of an everyday object.

Students learn to:

• Identify narrative point of view in sentences  
• Rewrite narration from a new POV  
• Compare how two characters experience the same moment differently  
• Express thoughts, emotions, and reactions through perspective  
• Understand viewpoint shifts in storytelling  

This worksheet strengthens narrative flexibility, empathy, descriptive writing, and reading comprehension.

Paragraph 2 – Girl’s Perspective

Paragraph 2 – The person who found it  
On my way out of class, I spotted a blue pen under a chair. I recognized it immediately—Rahul carried it everywhere. He must be panicking, I thought. I picked it up and walked toward his desk, smiling as his face lit up with relief when I handed it back.

Exercise 5 – Object Point of View (Sample)  
Object chosen: A school bag  
Every morning, my owner stuffs me with books, notebooks, and snacks. I feel heavy, but I’m proud to carry everything. During class, I rest quietly beside the desk. My favourite moment is when school ends, and I sway happily as my owner runs toward the gate.
