Worth one long distance pat on the back:  What kind of author’s craft did I use in writing the TITLE of this post?

Your homework tonight is to complete a practice activity about author’s purpose and perspective.  Go to the website (below) and read the passages.  Identify the author’s purpose.

Extra Credit (worth one Chance Ticket and your teacher’s appreciation):  Go to the Time for Kids website (www.timeforkids.com) and find an article where you can identify the author’s PERSPECTIVE.  Remember, this means that you CAN tell what the author’s true opinion is!  Print it out and bring it in for us to use in class.
