Step 1. Choose five (5) articles or short stories.
Choose at least two different genres. In other words, do not choose only short articles or only short stories.
Choose selections that illustrate a different author’s purpose. Do not choose only ‘inform’ or ‘entertain’ for all of your choices.
Step 2. Provide this information for each selection:
the web site of the selection
author
title
genre
summary of the selection (a paragraph of 7-10 sentences)
the author’s purpose with justification for your reasons
Answer:
This question does not provide specific options to choose from, as it asks for a research-based task. The task requires the selection of five articles or short stories from at least two different genres and from various websites, with information about the author, title, genre, a summary, and the author’s purpose for each selection.
