Lately for reading we have been learning to analyse the author's purpose. This means deciding why the author wrote what they wrote. Was it to inform (give us information)? Was it to entertain us, something we would read for fun? Or was it to persuade us of their opinion? Here is some of our work on this for texts we have been reading about Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
If you had to choose between a story, a poem or a news article, which would you prefer to read? Let us know in the comments!
