Standard 3: Critical Reading and Writing
Students will apply critical thinking skills to reading and writing.

For more specific genre information, please refer to Genre Guidance (page 4 of the Support Documents.).

READING: Students will comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and respond to a variety of complex texts of all literary and informational genres from a variety of historical, cultural, ethnic, and global perspectives.
1.3.R.1 Students will identify the author’s purpose (i.e., tell a story, provide information) with guidance and support.
Student Actions	Teacher Actions
With guidance and support: Students will identify features of different types of author’s purposes for a text/passage (i.e., persuade, inform, entertain). Students will determine the author’s purpose of a text/passage using features to help identify the purpose.	Students at this level require guidance and support during instructional opportunities for this objective. Teachers discuss with students the different forms of author’s purposes for a text/passage specifically highlighting each one: persuade, inform, and entertain. Teachers read texts/passages that highlight each of the different purposes. Teachers point out and model for students how to distinguish between each purpose by identifying their different features. Teachers provide opportunities for students to distinguish between each purpose by identifying their different features. Teachers monitor and provide opportunities for students to receive feedback as students are identifying the author’s purpose and the identifying features of the texts/passages.

Author’s Purpose Lesson (PDF)	The author’s purpose is the author’s specific reason for writing and conveys what the reader has to gain (or learn) from reading the selection. Students need to identify why an author wrote a specific text or passage: to tell a story, to provide information on a topic, or to persuade the reader. Author’s Purpose Clue Words Persuade: urge, persuade, opinion, should, must, influence, coax, convince, think, believe, belief Inform/Explain: instruct, educate, inform, explain, learn, teach, acquaint, familiarize, facts, directions, numbered or bulleted information/steps Entertain: story, poem, fiction, comedy, tale, fun, narrative, humor Some students may have difficulty determining an author’s purpose for a fiction book that is not funny. Explain to them that “to entertain” does not necessarily mean to be funny. A sad book can be entertaining as well.Although a story may contain a lesson (or theme) it is still intended to be entertaining.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
