Author's Purpose

The past couple of weeks we have been studying about Author's Purpose. We made this cute foldable to introduce Author's Purpose. We read several books and discussed if the author was trying to persuade us, inform us, or entertain us. We then cut out little pictures of the book cover and glued them in our foldable.

The next day, the students brainstormed with a partner products they would sell and decided on one to advertise. They had to create an advertisement that would persuade someone to buy their product. We discussed boring advertisements and exciting ones, what an advertisement should include, and who their audience would be so they knew how to market their product.
