Author’s Purpose Mini Lessons

Description

If you’re looking for a quick, efficient way to teach author’s purpose, this is it! This print-and-go set of 5 mini lessons will help you effectively target author’s purpose with your students! Great for both whole group and small group instruction, these mini lessons follow the official mini lesson outline of: connection, teaching point, teach, practice, and link. This mini lesson set includes hands-on activities to help teach author’s purpose–with everything you need, including teacher modeling pages, passages, and texts! It also includes student practice pages to help target skills and foster independent or partner/small group practice!

Even better, when there are student practice pages that apply to a lesson, a digital version of each one is provided! These digital files are compatible with Google Slides, Google Classroom, and PowerPoint.

The lessons included in this set are:

• Easy as P.I.E.!
• Author’s Purpose Vocabulary
• Author’s Purpose: Text Evidence
• The 3 Types of “I”
• Writing for Different Purposes

These lesson plans, while short and sweet, are detailed enough to leave for a substitute or give to a teaching aide–especially since everything you need is included right in this file!
