Help senior students make deliberate, purposeful choices about POV and voice rather than defaulting to habit. Every step — from first person intimacy to omniscient risk to unreliable narration — is paired with a hands-on activity, so students are actively testing POV and voice in their own writing from the very first slide.

Covers first person, third person limited and omniscient, second person, matching POV to story purpose, building a consistent and distinct narrative voice, unreliable narration as a deliberate technique, narrative distance, and tense choice. Finishes with a peer/self discussion check and a fully consistent scene in the student’s chosen POV and voice.

Includes worked exemplars throughout, continuous practice activities, an independent writing task, and a consolidated answer key with a self-assessment checklist.
The seventh in the Creative Writing Skills series, building on Idea Generation, Character Development, Setting, Structure, Dialogue, and Descriptive Language — suited to senior students refining sophisticated narrative control.
