Reading - Evaluate Author's Purpose

In reading we have been learning to evaluate writer's purposes and consider how they have used structure and language to suit these purposes. (e.g.  I can make decisions about why the writer has written a piece of writing and how they have used particular structures and words to meet their purpose.)

Here is a link to our online modelling book

We have been evaluating how well an author has achieved their purpose based on:

1. Specific Language choices made by authors.
2. Specific Structure choices made by authors.

These documents show evidence of my learning during this unit:

• Types of  Author's Purpose
• Explaining how writers use structure and language to meet their purpose.
• Evaluating Author's purpose 1
• Evaluating Author's purpose 2

My Next Step: Is to continue to apply this new knowledge and evaluate texts as I read them, checking to see that the author is meeting their intended purpose.
