Overview In this experience, students identify three purposes of writing—to persuade, to inform, and to entertain. Then, they examine text features and determine how they help the author convey purpose and meaning. They work in groups to identify what text features can be added to a text to make it easier for readers to understand. Finally, they read a passage and identify what essential information is missing from the text and revise the piece to improve it. Students will collaborate in small groups for Scene 3 to Scene 5.
