Tell why an author wrote a text (to persuade, to inform, to entertain) and what the author thinks, who a text is written for, which form of writing fits a purpose and an audience, and name the narrator's point of view (first, second or third person, limited or all-knowing) and how it shapes what the reader learns.

How to use this sheet
- Have the student underline the pronouns in the passage first: I and we, you, or he, she and they.
- For each answer, have the student give a quote that shows it.
- Ask what the reader knows that a character does not, for questions about irony and point of view.
Common mistakes
- Calling a story first person because it has dialogue with "I". Look at the narration, outside the quotation marks.
- Mixing up third person limited and omniscient. Omniscient narration shows what several characters think.
- Calling any surprise irony. Irony is a gap between what is expected and what happens or is meant.
