How can shapes be identified? What is an attribute? How do we use attributes to draw and compare shapes?

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. The cards can be printed front to back and then laminated. I use six of these games to split my class into 6 different groups. Included is a Snakes and Ladders board game with a March and St. Patrick's Day. If this author's purpose is taught in a different month than this, please use any old game board.

The rules I use:

In this Author's Purpose Game, students can compete against another student or computer.  Students will read a small passage and decide whether it was meant to inform, persuade, or entertain.  

Students will find and circle up to 3 spelling words in each of the 10 sentences.  They will then write the sentence correctly on the provided lines.  This is designed to reinforce phonics "bl" blends and spelling.
