This activity engages students in evaluating authors’ purpose. Students sort passages into three categories of author’s purpose: persuade, inform, and entertain.
In this activity students will evaluate their understanding of a text they have heard. If students are having difficulty with understanding they will choose a “fix up” strategy.
Designed as a supplemental resource, this student facing platform provides the opportunity for students to listen to texts and articles on various topics through different genres.
This strategy provides students with the opportunity to engage in rich, peer-to-peer, conversations with their classmates. This resource includes an overview of the strategy and clear directions to support implementation.
