Now, let’s study how you can determine the purpose of the text.
PURPOSE OF THE TEXT
The purpose of the text is the writer’s reason for writing. Many texts have more
than one purpose, but usually one will stand out as primary.
Writers may choose from a variety of purposes, which usually fall into three main
categories: to Persuade, to Inform, and to Entertain (PIE).
To Persuade
Writers write to persuade the readers to agree to a particular belief or opinion or to
act in a particular way. Persuasive writing states the writer’s position, offers
evidence to support that position, and invites the reader to adopt the position.
Examples of persuasive writing are advertisements, movie reviews, academic
arguments, and political speeches.
To Inform
Writers often write to inform the readers. These texts provide facts about some
topic. Informative writing is usually clear and well-organized. Examples of texts
written to inform are textbooks and encyclopedias.
To Entertain
Some writers write to entertain or amuse the readers. Texts written to entertain are
often imaginative works like novels, stories, or poems. Some texts may also make
important observations about human nature and the ways of the world, but the
primary reason is to entertainment.
As a group, discuss the purpose of the text your teacher will say.
1. Animals live in a particular place called habitat where they can find the food
they eat. There are live animals and found in the pond, forest, seas, and grassland.
The food is their source of energy. In order to survive, they need a continuous
supply of food. Thus, obtaining food is their life activities.
2. A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine
trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice,
and the Fox’s mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.
3. Everyone should think twice before deciding to eat fast food. There are many
health risks when it comes to eating food that’s made within a matter of seconds.
The food is not properly taken care of, which leads all the way back to where the
food is originally produced. Even if it is easy to buy and cheap, the health risks
outweigh the five minutes of satisfaction that fast food brings. One should carefully
think before they eat fast food.
F. Developing mastery (leads to Task 4: More PIEs?
Formative Assessment 3) Pair Up
With your partner, determine the purpose of the following texts.
1. It's late, it's been a long day, you're starving, and you're too exhausted to
cook. Hitting up the drive-thru seems like the best option — but we promise you, it's
really not. The reasons to boycott fast food go way beyond the obvious health
concerns — although caring for you (and your family's) well-being should be reason
enough alone. If you take a moment to learn a little more about that extra value
meal that goes down so easy, you might not like what you find.
G. Finding Give an example of text, video, or something similar that is made to persuade. To inform. To entertain.
practical application of concepts
and skills in daily living
H.Making generalizations The three main categories of the purpose of the texts are to Persuade, to Inform,
and abstractions about the and to Entertain (PIE).
lesson To persuade is to convince the readers to agree to a particular belief or opinion or to
act in a particular way.
To inform is to give the readers information about a topic or subject.
To entertain is to keep the readers amused.
I. Evaluating learning Identify the purposes of the following texts.
1. Fried chicken is my favorite. With spaghetti or rice;
With gravy or ketchup;
Or with all, “That’ll be nice!”
-Rose Ann B. Pamintuan
2. Although humans are omnivores (eating both plants and animals), many
people choose not to eat meat and fish. Those who don’t eat or use any
products made from animals (including eggs, dairy products and honey) are
known as vegetarians or vegans.
3. It’s Time to Junk Junk Food! Tired, crabby, or unfocused in class? It could be
the food you are eating. The lack of healthy and tasty school lunch selections
has recently become a problem in almost every elementary, middle and high
school across the nation. Most schools sell junk food to students and I think
this is wrong. There are many good reasons to remove junk food from school
lunch menus, and creating a healthier student body is number one. Junk foods should be taken out of
school lunch menus because they affect your
body and mind in negative ways.
