E28: Teacher Certification Podcast | FTCE | Reading | Identifying the Author's Purpose of a Passage
In today’s episode, I’ll be talking about the FTCE General Knowledge Reading Subtest. This is part 7 of a multi-series review of what YOU need to know to pass the Reading section of the GK.
Today we are going to talk about the author’s purpose in the text that you are evaluating. If you tuned in to the last episode, we talked about tone which had to do with the author’s attitude toward a topic.
And, and remember how we used word-choice to solve each example. We were such cool word-sleuths and tone-detectives. Yeaaaah.
But, this time is the same BUT different. It’s the same because we are going to use our word-detective skills but it’s different because instead of TONE we will be solving for “the author’s purpose”.
