Author’s Purpose and Point of View Mini-Lesson – Passages & Quizzes Included!

Description

Using these in-depth materials, your students will learn how to read closely and detect nuisances in the author’s craft so they can accurately determine the author’s purpose and point of view in any text.

In this resource, students will be asked to:

• Identify textual evidence to support their answers
• Determine the main idea of a text
• Describe the author’s purpose in writing the text
• Determine the author’s point of view
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the text

► What’s Included?

• Editable PowerPoint or Google Slides Lesson
• 3 Author’s Purpose Passages & Question Sets
• Audio Files for Each Passage (Making Differentiation Easy!)
• Scaffolded Brochure You Can Use With ANY Nonfiction Text
• Author’s Purpose Digital Notebook

► Nonfiction Text Passage Topics:

• The Problem with Sugar
• A Natural Solution
• The Sweet Journey of Sugar

All texts are at an 800-1010 Lexile Level. What’s up with the sugar theme? These passages are intended to be used as a follow-up to my main idea series on bees and my text structures series on candy!

By breaking down a tricky skill into manageable chunks, you can witness deep learning in your students without the hard work. You can use this lesson whole group, with a small targeted group of students, in a remedial reading course, as a sub plan, or as a station rotation activity.
