This author's purpose game was designed with 3rd through 5th graders in mind. There are 18 questions that students will read and then try to identify the purpose the author had in mind, to inform, persuade, or entertain.

This 3rd-grade educational resource teaches students how to create a 1st person comic strip. Students will learn to use dialogue and illustrations to tell a story from a character's perspective.

By the end of the lesson, students will have a finished comic strip they can be proud of.
