Author's Purpose

Good Morning Fourth Graders,


In reading we have been discussing Author's Purpose and the reasoning for why the author wrote a particular text.  The Author's Purpose may be to inform, to entertain, or to persuade.
Think about our most recent Unit of Inquiry....Water. We have been learning and studying Water for the last couple of weeks. In a class discussion, tell someone about Water to inform them. Then, persuade your partner about Water (example conservation of water). Lastly, explain what is entertaining about Water.

Here is a video clip about water.  What do you think the video is trying to do...persuade, inform or entertain you?
