Explain how an author develops the point of view of the narrator or speaker in a text.

This Common Core Standard is all about making students know what the narrator thinks about something and, more importantly, why they're sure that's how the narrator thinks. For example, they might know that the main character thinks the police are good guys, but how are we sure about that? Think of this standard as the inverse of its fifth-grade counterpart, which assumes that students know the character's point of view and asks them to extrapolate out (working outward). In sixth grade, students already know the character's point of view but instead have to figure out what reveals that point of view.
