What children learn in Level 65
- Welcome to Voices Theater! Every text has an audience, the people it's written for. Ask, who needs this message?
- Writers have purposes too: to inform, to persuade, or to entertain.
- One text can have several purposes. A flyer might tell a joke, give the facts, and then ask you to come.
- Then judge it. Did the text do its job for that audience?
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:

- 5.P.ST.2.a — Develop and apply knowledge of author, audience, and context to discern and establish the purpose of texts being interpreted or constructed and to evaluate the extent to which those texts achieve those purposes. (I/C)
