LI: To identify author’s purpose
This weeks current events challenge was to find different kinds of articles by using Kiwikidz news, NZ Herald, Radio NZ, Kea Kids News. We had to choose 5 words that authors use to write their articles and match them with articles from NZ.
We created google my maps to record the different articles we have found. One of the articles we matched with the authors reasons was Timeliness. Timeliness is the current news or events that is occuring right now. The article I chose was ‘Fifa Women’s World Cup 2023: Spain into final after beating Sweden at Eden Park’ from NZ Herald. This article was about the remarkable display Spain peformed in Eden Park against Sweeden in the FWWC (Fifa Women’s World Cup).
I found this activity interesting because I found out what authors use to write an article to hook or convince their audience to read what they have written.
