Inquiry Project Lesson Plan
Essential Question: How do audience and purpose affect writing?

Objective: to read an article, analyze point of view, sentence structure, style, and
audience.

CCSS Standards:
-ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.1 Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support
analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
-ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.2 Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its
development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped
and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text.
-ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.5 Analyze in detail how an author's ideas or claims are
developed and refined by particular sentences, paragraphs, or larger portions of a
text (e.g., a section or chapter).
-ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.6 Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a
text and analyze how an author uses rhetoric to advance that point of view or
purpose.
-ELA-LITERACY.W.9-10.4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the
development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and
audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards
1-3 above.)

Timeline:
1. Groups are randomly or strategically assigned.
2. Read the article together.
3. Answer the questions as a group. All members write the answers too.
4. Each student will be assigned a different paragraph from the article to do the
following copy change assignments.
Copy-change #1: Change the point of view (1st, 2nd, 3rd limited)
Copy-change #2: Change the intended audience (parent, teen, small children).
5. Turn in Article Analysis worksheet (with the two copy-change assignments attached).


Materials Needed:
-copies of the worksheet
-copies of articles (we used Rocked from Field and Stream, July 2014, A Day in the
Life of Your Knee from Readers Digest, January 2014, and Potato-salad Rookie Raises
Thousands on Kickstarter from CNN.com, 7 July 2014)
