3. Evaluate (which means reflect and give your opinion) the author’s purpose for writing this poem - in your answers include the words: inform, entertain, persuade.

• By analysing the poem I have read this week I think the author wrote this poem because so we understand what’s its in ocean, and what happens to the ocean and what it does, and what’s in the ocean
• The author was informing me about… how the ocean tide was going out, and how all the sand, and how seashells come up when the tide comes in and goes out
• The author was entertaining me by...  all of the emotional words in the text and all the descriptive words he used for that one topic (emotions/language features)
• The author was persuading me to think/believe/reflect… to believe that this is real, and that low tides are fascinating to look at when you're at the beach, and what lies left from the ocean when the tide goes out.

4. Add a picture on your Doc related to your poem.
