Stallions Find the Purpose

Students in Mrs.Hundertmark's 4th grade class at Cerna are learning about author's purpose.   

This week, they worked on a paired reading "Yes! We are Latinos" and "The Year of the Rat" to identify the author's purpose.   

They learned the author wrote these stories to persuade the reader to respect other cultures and learn about them.  Students then worked with a partner, using Scholastic book flyers, and sorted books by the author's purpose: Persuade, Inform and Entertain. 

Great job Stallions!
