This Grade 11 Author's Purpose and Audience Worksheet helps students analyze why a text is written and who it is intended for, emphasizing the importance of understanding these elements to evaluate a text’s effectiveness. The worksheet covers four main activities: identifying an author’s purpose (inform, persuade, entertain, explain); analyzing the intended audience for different media; pairing purpose with audience in complex texts; and evaluating how language choices support the author’s goals. A comprehensive answer key provides examples, such as a political speech persuading environmentally conscious citizens, a fitness blog informing busy professionals, and a movie review critiquing a film for readers.
