LI: To identify the author’s purpose.
This week for Reading we learnt about author’s purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).
We looked at Kiwi Kids News, Kea Kidz, NZ Herald and Radio NZ to find articles to match the purpose we were searching for. We then created a new map in Google my maps, plotted the event on a map, added the link to the article, added the author’s purpose, an image and sumarised the information.
I found this activity fun because I was able to learn interesting events that have happened/happening around New Zealand.
