-just found this, i think this the what the question is asking.


For what purpose(s) did the author write the resource? In other words, is the author trying to provide information? persuade readers? entertain? What clues help you to identify the piece's purpose?
This was a very informative piece. They are trying to provide factual information to semi persuade and mainly shed light on a topic. I don;t know that there were any clues that helped me identify that, it was pretty obvious.

Who is the audience? How do you know? How might the audience have affected the way that the resource is written?
Anyone interested in the topic, and teacher and teens. I know this because it plainly says it. I'm not sure how the audience might have affected the was it was written, i guess they may take a different approach if the audience were different.

How might the answers to these questions have influenced the writing of the resource?
i don't understand this question. I'm sure the writers thought about these types of questions before they wrote it so I'm sure it did influence it.
