Author’s Purpose & Perspective is a complete Year 5 reading strategy unit built around AC9E5LY03 - the Australian Curriculum descriptor that asks students to explain the characteristic features used in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to meet the purpose of the text. It also draws on AC9E5LA02, which asks students to move beyond bare assertions by taking account of differing ideas or opinions and authoritative sources. Most purpose-and-perspective resources stop at PIE (Persuade, Inform, Entertain) for a single text. This unit goes further: students learn PIE, then apply a 4-step process for comparing two accounts of the same event, examine how point of view shapes both emphasis and omission, identify three distinct types of bias, and write a complete comparison statement that names both perspectives and explains WHY they differ.
