Point of View

Point of view is the perspective
from which an author presents a
text. The point of view
determines how much information
the reader will be given and in
what way. A literary point of view
is reflected in the choice of
personal pronouns used in a text.
Point of View
First Person: Every day, we take part
in activities invented by the ancient
Greeks.
 Second person: Every day, you take
part in activities invented by the
ancient Greeks.
 Third person: Every day, they take part
in activities invented by the ancient
Greeks.

Time Line
A time line is a graph that shows
events in the order in which they
take place.
 A time line looks like a ruler. It is
a straight line with evenly spaced
intervals marked along it. On a
time line, each mark represents a
date.

Time Line

The date span on a time line
depends on the information
covered. It may be one day or
several hundred years and it can
cover general or specific topics.
Time Line

Dates are shown on a time line in
proportional distance to one
another. The years 1900 and
2000 will be twice as far apart on
a time line as the years 1900 and
1950.
Time Line

If a time line has to show events
happening in two eras with nothing
happening in the middle, you can
break the time line. A gap in the
line will show that a number of
years has been omitted to save
space.
