Exploring Point of View in Literature As students read poetry, it is important to understand the author’s point of view to evaluate his or her ideas. Students explore the question, “How does life experience shape one’s world view?” and consider how time and place impact perspectives on the same idea or theme. They then create an original poem that retells a familiar or classic poem from a different point of view. The poems are presented as short videos/slideshows that can be featured at an assembly of peers or as a part of a web page. This can be done as an integrated unit on poetry, drama and literary elements. How does life experience shape one’s world view? How does the meaning of a piece of literature depend as much on who is telling it as what is being told? Define first-person point of view, third-person-limited point of view, third-person-omniscient point of view and second-person point of view. Define theme and author’s purpose. What does it mean to “defer?”
