  1. Grade 5 - Reading 3.7Evaluate the author's use of various techniques (e.g., appeal of characters in a picture book, logic and credibility of plots and settings, use of figurative language) to influence readers' perspectives. Author Techniques A challenging but important task for the reader is to figure out the author's opinion, purpose, and attitude. Since the author may not directly state his or her purpose, the reader must look for hidden meanings. The reader must look for underlying assumptions and recognize bias, emotional language, or propaganda that the author uses to make his or her point.

  2. Questions to ask yourself about the author's techniques: 1. What is the author's purpose in writing? (to persuade, entertain, inform, direct) 2. Has the author presented all sides of an argument? 3. If so, is the article balanced toward all positions or biased toward one? 4. Is there enough evidence to support each side? 5. Is the evidence reliable and convincing? 6. Does the author use words that convey emotion? 7. Does the article seem to present propaganda?
