Danish term or phrase: nedslag (in the context of timelines used for teaching)
The context is strictly the use of timelines for instruction, e.g., "Eleverne kan også skrive en meddigtende, historisk fortælling ud fra et selvvalgt perspektiv ved at inddrage udvalgte nedslag." "Nedslag" is also used repeatedly as a heading in the text to be translated, above short bits of instructional material. But without access to the actual timeline in question, I'd don't know whether the word appears on the timeline or not.

I thought I had this appropriately paired with "downstroke", but I've found scant support for that and I'm a little nervous.

English translation:Point of interest
Explanation:
I understand it as the pupils' choice of specific subjects (or dates, maybe, as it is a timeline) to deal with. I.e. they 'delve into' something along the timeline in more detail than other aspects.

For instance, if they are looking at, say, World War II, maybe they will select 9 April 1940 (the day the Germans occupied Denmark) as a 'nedslag', a specific 'point of interest'?
