How Authors Present People and Places (Grades 3 and 4)
Authors’ choices for Grades 3 and 4: read a made-up poster and a story about one cove, say how each presents the cove and its people, which words make the people seem kind and the reader uneasy, why the author chose a photo, short lines, and a drawing, and how each shapes the reader’s view, then explain the difference and write about your school. With an answer key.
Type the answers or write with a mouse, touchpad or finger. The work stays on your device.

Tell why an author wrote a text (to persuade, to inform, to entertain) and what the author thinks, who a text is written for, which form of writing fits a purpose and an audience, and name the narrator's point of view (first, second or third person, limited or all-knowing) and how it shapes what the reader learns.

How to use this sheet
- Have the student underline the pronouns in the passage first: I and we, you, or he, she and they.
- For each answer, have the student give a quote that shows it.
- Ask what the reader knows that a character does not, for questions about irony and point of view.
Common mistakes
- Calling a story first person because it has dialogue with "I". Look at the narration, outside the quotation marks.
- Mixing up third person limited and omniscient. Omniscient narration shows what several characters think.
- Calling any surprise irony. Irony is a gap between what is expected and what happens or is meant.
