Character and Plot

Word Structure
Dictionary/Glossary
Character and Plot

Plot refers to the important
events in a story.
Characters are the people in
the story.
Point of View
The perspective from which an
author tells a story is called point

of view.
Who the author chooses to tell
the story determines what we
learn about the characters and
their actions.
Point of View
In first-person point of view,
words such as I and me show that

the narrator is a character in the
story.
Point of View
In third-person point of view,
the narrator is not a character in

the story. The writer uses words
such as he, she, it, and they to
tell about characters.
Authors sometimes mix points of
view within a story.
Suffixes
We can use our knowledge of
suffixes to determine the meanings

of longer words.
The suffixes tion, -ation, and
ment turn verbs into nouns.
Complete the chart. Then add to
the chart other words you know
that fit this pattern.

Dictionary/Glossary
Where would you look to find the
meaning of a word you dont know?
A dictionary lists all words in
alphabetical order.
A specialized dictionary lists words
in a particular field or language in

alphabetical order.
Dictionary/Glossary
A dictionary entry includes the word,
its pronunciation, parts of speech, and

meaning. If a word has more than one
meaning, the dictionary entry will
include all meanings.
An online dictionary is an electronic
resource found on the Internet.
Dictionary/Glossary
A book may include a glossary at the
back of it with important words used

in the book.
A glossary entry gives the word and
its meaning as it is used in the book.
Grammar
