This is the last task for all of you!
Today, we are going to look at point-of-view (POV) which is basically the perspective of the narrator of a story. For example, if we have a story in which Jane and Jack are quarelling, we can write it either from Jane’s POV or Jack’s POV.
Often, we all have different POVs about the same event. We blame different people, we interpret actions differently and we react differently. When my friend says no to having lunch together, I might interpret it as an act of rejection. However, she might just think she has a lot of work to do. So when you write from different POVs, you could have very different stories.
Select from one of the prompts below. You should write at least 200 words.
- Describe an armed robbery of a jewellery shop from the POV of the gun being used. [Basically, imagine you are the gun]
- Describe a lesson in school from the POV of the marker the teacher uses. [Again, you are the marker.]
- Rewrite the story of Little Red Riding Hood from the POV of the wolf.
- Rewrite Cinderella from the POV of one of the step-sisters.
Have fun!

Miss Leanna, does the story we write have to be exactly the same as the original story? The same plot, etc. Cause i wanna write #3 but with a different plot, a twist in my story.

Well, generally the plot should be similar but feel free to let your creative juices flow and make changes if you want. Just ensure it is not too overwhelming such that we cannot even tell what story it originated from.
