Worksheet Overview

 

Purpose, audience and context are key elements of any text.

 

This activity will help us to practise identifying the correct purpose, audience and context of a particular text.

 

For example, let's read the text below:

 

Are you looking for a cheap alternative to disposable nappies?
If so, why not check out our sustainable, eco-friendly, re-useable nappies?

Purpose
