Week 1 WALT: identify an author's purpose and question the intent Sign into the draft wiki, click edit, and answer the questions below. Atlas Hangs On Why did the author write this story? because he wanted to give a message to the reader. Do you think the writer may have been suggesting that there could be hope for our environment? Atlas thought the tree and birds were gone but there was the twist at the end. What message is being given to the reader? to show that you can always trust friends. Did you like this story? Why, why not? I liked it because the author brought the planets to life. The planets did have great personalities.

Some editing points. You need to read this out loud to yourself and decide where to put capital letters, full stops and question marks. The WALT is use speech marks correctly. Each new speaker needs to be on a new line. See me re where the speech marks need to go once your speakers have their own lines.
