This week we have been discussing and writing using author's purpose: to persuade, to inform, and to entertain. During the beginning of the week, we used an awesome SMART Notebook that focused on Author's purpose and students came up to check their understanding of this concept. On Thursday and Friday, we used mini candy bars as props in a writing task. Students could choose any of the three author's purposes to create a writing piece about their candy bar. These writing pieces are outside our classroom, hanging in the hall. It is really neat to see the different perspectives the students took with their writing! If you are at school this week, come check them out!
