Author's Purpose

Hey All! I am having to play a little catch up here on posts. In November and going into early December we were learning about the ocean. I like to tie what we are learning about in science or social studies into reading, and math. Above you can see our Author's Purpose whales. We learned about how author's have three different reasons for writing; 1. Persuade 2. Inform or 3. Entertain. We read a short selection together as a class about an aquarium. We decided that the reason for the author writing this selection was to inform. We made little Author's Purpose Whales explaining what the author informed us about!
