- The main idea is the most important point, opinion, or central message that a writer wishes to communicate to the reader.
- Meaning of terms: author's purpose, voice, tone, mood.
- Meaning of terms: point of view, first-person, third-person.
Students will Understand that:
- Writers often engage in personal exploration, seeking to identify, reveal, or clarify ideas for themselves and/or others.
- Writers often examine the texts of others to gain information and inspiration before making decision about their own writing.
