Independent Work:
- Read for 20 minutes
- Complete your reading log

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
Notes:
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
*** 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 also be a quiz on Author's Purpose on Wednesday.
Activity #2
Independent Reading
Directions:
- Read for 20 minutes
- Complete your reading log each day
- Be sure to write down what happened in that day's reading.
- Choose one word to be your "Word of the Week"
- Complete the "Word of the Week" portion of your reading log
- You will hand in your reading log one week from today.
Have a great day!
