ANALYSIS
Discussion
In our Pre-Test, most of your classmates
got the correct answer.
Let us now discuss it.
Our topic for today is author’s purpose.
Now, who can define author’s purpose based
on our pre-test activity?
Ma’am, author’s purpose refers to the
reasons or what is the purpose of the
author why he/she is writing his/her
work.
Very good! When we say author’s purpose, it
really refers to author’s reason he/she has for
writing a selection. It always answers the
question “Why.” Why the author wrote his/her
work.
Now, are you familiar with this?
Yes, ma’am.
What’s this?
It’s a pie, ma’am.
Very good! Did you know that this has
connection with the author’s purpose?
In what way, ma’am?
Alright, let me explain it to you. When you
hear author’s purpose, just think of the food
or word pie.
ersuade
nform
ntertain
Because P stands for Persuade, I, stands
for Inform and E stands for Entertain.
Normally, there are only three author’s
purpose, but today, we will also tackle the
fourth one.
escribe
Okay, so it will now become PIED,
persuade, inform, entertain and describe.
When we are talking about the author’s
purpose, always think of the word PIED.
Do you get it?
Yes, ma’am.
Alright, let us discuss it one by one.
REASONS WHY AUTHOR’S WRITE:
1. TO PERSUADE
Please read the definition of this purpose.



to convince a reader to believe
an idea or to take a course of
action or to influence the reader,
the author uses persuasive
writing.
Persuasive pieces are usually
non-fiction.
There are facts, it also contains
the author’s opinions.
Examples:
 Advertisement commercials,
newspaper editorial, Political
speeches, an essay urging readers
to recycle.
2. TO INFORM

Kindly read its meaning.

To inform or teach the reader,
the author uses expository
writing. If the author’s purpose is
to inform, you will learn
something from the selection.
Information pieces sometimes
use one or more of the following:
facts, details/instructions, places,
events and people.
Examples: textbooks, cookbooks,
newspapers, encyclopedias, biographies
news report.
3. TO ENTERTAIN
Who wants to read the meaning of this
purpose?
 To relate a story or recount
events, an author uses narrative
writing.
 One goal of writing may be to tell a
story or to simply entertain and
provide enjoyment for the reader.
Examples: Harry Potter books, Poems
about love, Script for a TV show.
4. TO DESCRIBE
Please read the meaning of the purpose to
describe.


Examples: Travel guides, brochures, charts,
instructions.
To tell what something looks like,
sounds like, or feels like, the author
uses descriptive writing.
Authors use descriptive facts,
opinions and reasons to get the
point across.
Now, let’s try to identify the purpose of
these examples:

The giant panda is a bearlike animal
that has thick white fur with black
markings on its ears, limbs,
shoulders, and around its eyes.

Joe had been fishing for over two
hours without a single bite.
Suddenly, there was a nibble at the

on the boat and leaned out too far.
Just then, there was a sharp yank
on the line. Joe fell overboard and
landed head first into the water. Joe
and his friends laughed and
laughed.

ABSTRACTION
Okay class, we are now done discussing.
Now, my question is why does author’s
purpose matter? Any idea?
.
It matters because understanding not
only the "why" the author wrote the
story but the "how" the author wrote the
story tunes us in to what we should
know by the end of the text. Essentially,
understanding the reason behind the
writing will help with the understanding
of the writing.
Very good, because the author is trying to tell
us something, also, at the end of every texts
they wrote, we can gain new knowledge or
even moral lessons from the stories.
Any other answer?
It can also help us to consider the
author’s values and perceptions in life.
Alright, since most of the authors write based
on their own experiences, sometimes, they
are integrating their values and beliefs in
their works, that’s why we can understand
their point of views and also learn something
from them.
Any other idea?
IV.
It will also help us to form our own ideas
and thought.
Yes, correct! Since we have this purpose “to
persuade” we can also be encouraged to
form our thoughts and ideas depending on (Students’ answer may vary.)
