Author Response

I am learning to identify and describe what the author wanted me to feel, think about or see.

Success Criteria.

I will know I have been successful when:

• I can identify what I think the author’s purpose might be
• I can identify the big idea or message/s in the story through character actions or events
• I can describe the thoughts, feelings and actions in the story and link it to author purpose
• I can find evidence in the text to support my thinking, feelings and observations
• I can identify how the illustrations help to get the author’s message across
  
  This is my reading evidence. I found this tricky because it was not easy to describe the story without the book. Next time I need the book so I can describe it.
