POINT OF VIEW
The point of view of a story is the perspective from which readers see the action.
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.

mean “one who is an expert in” or “one who does.”
For example, naturalist means “a nature expert.”

PRINT SOURCES
Where might you find information on another national park?
Print resources include textbooks, trade books, encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, atlases, magazines, newspaper, government and community pamphlets, and other printed reference materials.
PRINT SOURCES When selecting print sources for
research, think about the purpose of each type of source. For example, history textbooks or trade books are good sources for information about people and events from the past; newspapers and magazines are good sources for information about people living today and current events.
PRINT SOURCES To find information in a print
source, think about its organization. The table of contents, index, or headings show what information the source includes and how it is organized.
