Author’s Purpose
The author’s purpose is the main
reason an author writes a selection. An
author may write to persuade, to
inform, to entertain, or to express
ideas or feelings.
Sometimes an author may write with
more than one purpose in mind.
What an author says and details given
help you figure out the author’s
purpose.
Paraphrase
To paraphrase something is to put it
in your own words. When you
paraphrase, keep the author’s ideas
and overall meaning, and avoid adding
your own opinions.
Paraphrasing helps you make sure you
understand a piece of writing.
Paraphrase
Remember to always paraphrase
when you take notes from reference
sources to be sure you don’t copy the
words exactly.
Multiple-Meaning Words
Some words have more than one
meaning. When you come across a
multiple-meaning word, context clues
can help you decide which meaning is
intended.
Write the multiple meanings for these
words from “Talk with an Astronaut,”
and circle the meaning for each one
that best fits the context of the
selection.
