Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text.
What is the Purpose?
-To Inform
-To Persuade
-To Entertain
All authors have a purpose weather it be a song, movie, book, and/or article. Some texts will have more than one purpose. The following video will explain how the purpose is conveyed in a text. Take notes (pausing the video when needed), so you are able to find the purpose of a text on your own.
Please watch this video explaining the standard above. Take Notes in Your Journal!

Don't Forget the GOOGLE DOC
Please go to the google doc and share what you thought the purpose of each video was. Remember there can be more than one purpose. Use evidence from the videos to explain. It is okay if you and another person disagrees. Once you have made your post read other peer's responses. You need to comment on at least three people's posts (1 from each video clip).
