Activity #1

Author's Purpose

Standards:

RI6.6 Determine an author's point of view, or purpose, in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text

Directions:

Author's have a variety of reasons, or purposes, for writing. As a reader it is your job to determine what that purpose is! 

Step 1 - Color Code your Graphic organizer to match mine. (See my example)

Step 2 - Glue in the Graphic Organizers (See pictures below)

Step 3 - Write the definition (from the table) of each Authors purpose in the graphic organizer

Step 4 - Write the examples (You can skip this part)

*** We will use these notes tomorrow. We are going to read a variety of passages and practice identifying what the author's purpose was for writing. There will be a quiz on Author's Purpose Monday.

Have a great day!
