The topic of the article is Education.
The main idea of the article is: Education Gap Grows Between rich and poor, studies say.
implied/stated)
The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform about the growing gap.
The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because
A lot of people have opinions and this article. Not only the author.
The pattern of organization of the article is argument& support.
The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is he wants argue whats wrong and support whats right that’s why the article is subjective, It has many opinions from people.
The text features included in the article are: Education, Poor, Rich.
Education helps by giving knowledge to kids around the world.
Rich people helps by living better.
Poor helps by doesn’t help because they don’t have money to buy better stuff.
This article is about (a summary in your own words): Kids around the world getting education they talk about how money affect education, well I think if your rich you have money to buy supplies and your more happy, and if you are poor you don’t have much money for supplies and u have to reuse a lot of stuff, so it’s really hard.
The significance (importance) of this article is even if your rich or poor you have to always keep your mind to school and learn as hard as you can.
What I learned from this article is to always keep my mind about school and studying and doing great stuff.
What I liked about this article is that some people said well maybe some people could help them have money for school that way their mind will be fun.
What I did not like about it: is when some people they didn’t really care and just let everything go they don’t care about education.
Who should read this article and why: teens and adults because teens will maybe understand to keep their minds to school. And adults because they maybe will understand why their kids are doing badly in school.
This article reminds me of (text-to-self): The time my friend and I went to buy supplies for school and she didn’t have enough money to but all the stuff for school, so in school her grades weren’t so well.
(text-to-text): this article reminds me of a book I read about a girl who didn’t learn good and didn’t do good in school because her family did not have money.
(text-to-world): There are lots of people in the world that say thye don’t like school or stuff like that but they don’t think that some people in Africa cant even go to school they have to work and they don’t get education, they don’t how to read or write, and some people just don’t respect school.
