When we have decided on the characters we wantto use in our stories, we then have to make theminteresting for the reader.

To make our characters interesting, we use lots ofadjectives to give more information about them.

One day, while the beautiful zebra was looking at hisref lection in the water, the baboon walked past.

King Pendragon was a kind man.

Arthur was a very good, brave king.

Prince John and his friend, the Sheriff of Nottingham, were very cruel.

Robin Hood and his Merry Men took money from the rich peopleand gave it to the poor people.

Look at this definition of the adjective kind.

Remove cut-out page 71 from the back of this book. Look at theinformation about Khalfan’s life and answer the questions.

Now think about the important events in your life. For example:

Take your time line home with you and talk to your family andfriends about the important events that have happened in your life.Record the information on your time line.

When you write a biography, it is important to describeimportant events in the person’s life.

Look again at the biography of Marco Polo on page 37 of your Classbook.Read the biography and write down what happened by each date.

A line of dates that shows important events and the order in which theyhappened is called a time line.

Time lines are very useful when we are planning and writing biographies.

u You usually start with information about when the personwas born.

u After that, you need to write about what important thingshappened in their lives and when they happened.

u Finally, if the person is dead, you need to say when they died.
