Author’s Purpose Task Cards | Holiday Theme

Description

32 Author’s Purpose task cards with a holiday theme that help students practice identifying author’s purpose while keeping them in the winter holiday spirit!

This resource includes:

• 24 Author’s Purpose Task Cards require the students to read a short paragraph and identify the author’s purpose.
• 4 Cards require students to look at a description of a piece of writing and identify the author’s purpose.
• 4 topic cards give students a holiday topic and an author’s purpose. They generate a paragraph based on the topic.
• Answer Key & Recording Sheet
• Digital version via Google Slides

Check out my preview for a look at the cards.

(A few cards mention Christmas themed items -trees, carols, etc.-, but not all, so they are easily adaptable for students who do not celebrate Christmas.)
