Author's purpose pie!

Students made their own pies to represent the three main purposes an author writes...P-persuade, I-inform, E-entertain. The best part, no glue!! I poked a hole in the middle of all the plates and pie tins and they connected it with a pipe cleaner!

Next students will choose a purpose and write in that way about PIE! Persuading you to eat it, informing you how to make it, or entertaining you with a silly pie story. Then they will share them with the class and have their classmates guess which purpose. (a great idea from my grade partner!$
