Curriculum Update: September 14 - 17

According to "Close Reading and Writing From Sources," by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey, "The RAND Reading Study Group identified the author's purpose as a key element of reading comprehension...Think of purpose as two sides of the same coin. On one side is the reader's purpose: Why am I reading this? What do I want to get out of this text? On the opposite side is the author's purpose: What does the author want me to know?Why has this been written, and for whom? A reader who can ascertain the author's purpose is able to begin to analyze the text."
