Take PIE to the next level- add explain and describe! Here's a hands-on game to practice author's purpose! Best of all, this version includes the more comprehensive FIVE author's purposes. (Get PIE-ED!)
persuade
inform
entertain
explain
describe
I created this because I wanted my upper elementary students to take author's purpose a step beyond the basic three (persuade, inform, and entertain). Many multiple choice tests add a fourth purpose as a choice, and when I only focused on the basic three, I wasn't adequately preparing my students for the tests. This is a fun, educational game!

It includes 36 game pieces (18 matches) and directions! Simply print and cut the game pieces (1 set for each pair or small group). Students turn all of the game pieces over, and then follow the directions to play Concentration!
