Author's Purpose

We worked on author's purpose last week. Most of my kids get it until it comes to distinguishing between inform and entertain when the narrative is realistic. I thought I would make a game for them to practice and I thought some of you might find it useful. The first page is a game board, followed by 3 pages of game cards which are all related to Thanksgiving (might as well have them learn some facts while playing!), a page to print on the back of the game cards, and an answer key. Enjoy!

    I couldn't download the file because it says the virus scanned failed. Anyone else having this problem? I'd love to use the game!
