Analysing an author's purpose

Check out my learning about an author's purpose. An author's purpose is why the author writes something.

Finding keywords and summarising

This week we looked at a book called Energy. It was all about how things need energy to work, and where energy comes from. We were learning how to find keywords in a book to help see the main ideas, and we did this by highlighting words we thought were important on each page. We used the highlighter tool on Explain Everything. Then we summarized the main idea on each page in our own words using the textbox tool.
