Author's Purpose with 3rd Grade

In third grade, we have been talking a lot about Author's Purpose and to remember it, we eat PIE!

Persuade

Inform

Entertain

Last week, we read a book that entertained us by Robert Munsch and we did a sort where we read a small snippet from a book and put it in the correct category. Then this week, we read non-fiction books to inform us. Each student read another non-fiction book and wrote down the main idea and 4 details that the author informed them of. We learned and shared a lot of details!
