Print Sources
The West
83. MAIN IDEA
The
topic is what a paragraph, part
of an article, or a whole article is
about.
The most important thing the author
has to say about the topic is the main
idea.
The little pieces of information
telling more about the main idea are
the supporting details.
85. 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.
86. 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.
87. SUFFIXES
The suffixes –ist, -er, and –or
mean “one who is an expert in” or
“one who does.”
For example, naturalist means “a
nature expert.”
Look
through the selection for
more words that end with
suffixes –ist, -er, or –or. List the
words and their meanings.
89. 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.
90. 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
91. 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.
