Reading - Authors purpose

I am learning to identify and describe what the author wanted me to feel, think about or see.

Success Criteria.

I will know I have been successful when:

• I can identify what I think the author’s purpose might be
• I can identify the big idea or message/s in the story through character actions or events
• I can describe the thoughts, feelings and actions in the story and link it to author purpose
• I can find evidence in the text to support my thinking, feelings and observations
• I can identify how the illustrations help to get the author’s message across

My reflection

I found this piece of work a bit hard because
I didn't really find anything that scary or bad but the part
that I didn't really get was hard to understand and 
read properly.
I could understand what the author's purpose might
of been. I think it was meant to make your imagination
bigger and believe in fantasy and also the author is trying to tell
you to have lots of adventures and take your imagination with you.

I described some thoughts but sometimes I couldn't it was
hard to but then I managed to think it through later on once I read it again.
the illustrations helped me think hard of what happened and how and when it happened to them.
