The unit begins through explaining the P.I.E. of an Author's Purpose: Persuade, Inform and Entertain. The unit also later includes a 4th purpose of writing: to express personal feelings.
- Reading Comprehension: Author's Purpose P.I.E..
- A proof reading activity of the same text as the Author's Purpose Reading Comprehension,
- Several worksheets for students to read passages and select the Author's Purpose,
- Several worksheets that students are also asked questions delving into the purpose of the writing a little deeper or where a student might find this type of text,
- A reading about 'Alexander Graham Bell' (that was not written to inform as one might expect with topic related questions)
- A reading about 'Looking at Earth from Space' and related questions.
- 1 form for students to use for any book/article to describe the Author's Purpose as well as students to compare the author's point of view to the student's personal point of view.
Designed for 3rd-5th grades and includes 18 student pages plus answer keys. Also has been prepared so that the unit will work for test preparation!
