Author's Purpose

We are looking at the  author's purpose for writing during our reading sessions.
We have learnt that they write to:
Inform
Entertain
Persuade.

We are learning to pick up key ideas within texts in order to recognise the main points used by authors when they write.

We watched this video to consider ways that they write to get their messages across.

We will be applying this to our reading for the rest of the week and then further in our author study later this term.
