Examining parts of a text to understand how it is written or it’s meaning.

Use the prompts below to guide you in analysing texts from home. You may respond to the prompts through conversation or a written response.

What strengths do you notice in the author’s writing?

How can we determine a text’s purpose? Is this text meant to inform, entertain, persuade or explain/instruct?

How do illustrations support the text?

How does an author create suspense?

How can you identify the moral of the story?

What aspects of the writer's craft do you notice?

How does an author's word choice contribute to the quality of the text?

How does the organisation contribute to the quality of the text? (Ex. bolded or italic words, line breaks)

How can we determine a text’s intended audience?

- Who is the author writing for?
- Where was it published and who is most likely to find it there?
- What is the topic and who is generally interested in it?
- What level of language does the author use? Simple, sophisticated or specialised?
- What assumptions does the author make about the audience’s values and beliefs?
