About the Point of View Worksheet

Point of View is a comprehensive reading comprehension exercise that helps students analyze different perspectives and writing styles. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Point of View features two distinct passages about Seattle written from contrasting viewpoints - one by a 70-year-old named Elliot and another by a 28-year-old named John.

The worksheet presents engaging content through two well-crafted passages that highlight how different generations perceive and experience the same city. Students are guided to examine the authors' feelings, perspectives, and evidence from the text through thoughtfully designed questions.
