Level 5 - Author's’ Purpose Map
I can describe the author’s purpose in a text	I can identify several features of the author’s purpose The author’s purpose is… The point of view is… The intended audience is...	I can identify several features of the author’s purpose; and explain giving relevant examples and evidence. What does it say in the text to show you that: this is the author’s purpose this is the point of view this is the intended audience
The author’s purpose is… P? I? E?	Informative	1.The fact that the Dionaea muscipula, or Venus flytrap, feeds on unsuspecting insects by luring them into its jaw-like leaves with sweet-smelling nectar has been known for centuries. 2.the process begins when the insect lands on the trap. If it just touches the sensory hair on the leaves once, nothing happens. The smart plant knows that this could be the result of the wind or a raindrop. 3.It is only when the unsuspecting creature triggers the sensory hair a second time that it gets trapped inside the leaf.
The point of view is…	3rd person.	1.What they noticed 2.However, scientists thought 3.they had assumed
The intended audience is...		1.The researchers, who published their findings in the scientific journal 2.The scientists believe the large amount of energy required to break down the insect’s proteins cannot be supplied by traditional photosynthesis alone. 3.In 2016, Rainer Hedrich, a biophysicist at the University of Würzburg, discovered that the Venus flytrap does not waste energy
	I can generalise about the author’s point of view Overall authors use certain languages to catch the attention of other readers and they also use .P.I.E. to catch the eye/attention of different year/age range and readers. Because if you were 20 year old you most likely wouldn't like to read a book about fairies and pirates.
