*Fiction:

• Has made up characters, settings, & events

• Has a beginning, middle, & end

*Character Perspective: 

• Fiction stories will sometimes have a narrator that is not a character. It is called third-person point of view. The narrator can describe the perspectives of any character.

• Perspective is the character’s attitude or feelings about something. Third person point of view allows authors to describe how many characters feel. 

*Plot: Sequence of Events: 

• The sequence of events is the order that events happen in a story. We can use words like first, next, them, and last to tell the order of what happens.

• Authors use signal words and phrases such as at the beginning, before, in the meantime, and after to show the order of events.
