I modeled how to complete each activity and away they went!!!
A flapbook to write the way to figure out the author's purpose by asking questions about a book.
Common Core Standard with the different type's of author's purposes.
This little piece of work was one of those last minute {AHA} moments. I found this PREZI and I loved how there was a podcast of the story The Apple Pie Tree at the end. I had students listen to the story and draw what they understood about the story. Of course some students only drew one thing, but this little friend drew and wrote about everything she remembered. I love how she analyzed the story and put her own spin on it. Amazing!
We will continue discussing author's purpose for the next 3 weeks just to make sure they have it down. I am having the students keep this in their journal so we can organize books we read into the 3 different categories. I want them to reflect on the stories we read so they are easily able to identify author's purpose when reading a story. You can grab this freebie by clicking on the pic!
Have a restful weekend my friends!
I am using Nicole's notebooks for 5th grade, too, and my kiddos LOVE them! They are so much more fun than taking notes. :)The pie looks delicious!

I am encouraging more teachers at our school to use them. I love how students can go back and reference each skill and standard. I wish she had one for math as well. :) Kristi
