Good morning, class! Point of view (POV) refers to the perspective from which a story is told. It's like choosing which pair of eyes we're seeing the story through. Understanding POV is crucial for both reading comprehension and becoming better writers. Let's explore the different types together!

In first person POV, the narrator tells the story using 'I,' 'me,' 'my,' 'we,' or 'us.' The narrator is a character in the story.

Example: 'I walked into the classroom and saw my friends waving at me.'

This POV helps create an intimate connection between the reader and narrator.

Second person POV uses 'you' and 'your' to address the reader directly. This POV is less common in fiction but often used in instructional writing and choose-your-own-adventure stories.

Example: 'You open the door and find yourself in a magical garden.'

Third person limited uses 'he,' 'she,' 'they,' but follows only one character's thoughts and feelings. The narrator knows only what that character knows.

Example: 'Sarah wondered why her brother was late. She looked at her watch again, worried.'

In third person omniscient, the narrator knows everything about all characters' thoughts, feelings, and actions. Like a 'god-like' perspective!

Example: 'John thought the test was easy, but Maria was struggling with every question, remembering how little she had studied.'

Watch out for these common POV errors:
1. POV shifting within the same paragraph
2. Mixing 'you' in third person narration
3. Having a first person narrator know things they couldn't possibly know

Remember to stay consistent with your chosen POV!
