Lesson Introduction: Discovering Author's Purpose

Welcome, Young Writers!

🌟 Good morning, everybody! Today, we’re going to become super detectives! Are you ready to put on your detective hats? 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️

What is Author's Purpose?

When we read, every author has a special reason why they wrote their story. This is called the author's purpose! An author can write to:

1. Inform - Share facts or details (like a science book).
2. Persuade - Convince you to think or act in a certain way (like a commercial).
3. Entertain - Tell a fun and exciting story (like a fairytale).

Let's Start Our Adventure!

Story Time! 📖

To kick things off, we’ll listen to a short story called "The Playful Puppy." As we read, I want you to think about why the author wrote this story.

• Was it to entertain us with a fun tale about a puppy?
• Was it to inform us about how to take care of pets?
• Or was it to persuade us that we should all adopt a puppy?

Think-Pair-Share Activity

After our story, I’ll give you 1 minute to think about the author’s purpose. Then, turn to your partner and share your ideas! Remember, it’s okay if you have different thoughts. Every detective can have unique clues!

Conclusion

Now, who’s ready to be an incredible detective? Let’s dive into our story and discover the amazing world of the author’s purpose together! 🕵️‍♀️✨
