To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each book title and decide what the author's main goal is. The three goals are:
1.
Persuade: The author wants you to do something or believe an opinion (like "Buy this!" or "This is the best!").
2.
Inform: The author wants to teach you facts or how to do something (like a recipe or a science fact).
3.
Entertain: The author wants to tell you a fun story to enjoy.
Let’s look at each title one by one:
*
"Cinco de Mayo": This is likely a book explaining the history and traditions of the holiday. It teaches facts. ->
Inform
*
"Barry the Buzzing Bee": This sounds like a character in a story. Stories are for fun. ->
Entertain
*
"How to Make Coffee": This gives instructions on how to do something. It teaches facts/steps. ->
Inform
*
"Fish are Fun to Have!": This title shares an opinion. The author is trying to convince you that having fish as pets is a good idea. ->
Persuade
*
"The Best Easter Candy": Using the word "Best" shows it is an opinion. The author is trying to convince you which candy is the top choice. ->
Persuade
*
"Owen Plants a Garden": This sounds like a narrative about a boy named Owen doing an activity. It is a story. ->
Entertain
Now we can group them into the correct pies.
Final Answer:
PERSUADE
* Fish are Fun to Have!
* The Best Easter Candy
INFORM
* Cinco de Mayo
* How to Make Coffee
ENTERTAIN
