Author's purpose

I'm just watching the Law & Order marathon when I see the following commercial. And I think to myself, because I'm always thinking about teaching, "That's a great way to explain Author's Purpose!"

Some of you have struggled with that particular part of the precis - figuring out WHY an author wrote what they did. This commercial identifies purpose for lots of different people. Check it out, you'll see what I mean.

See...watching TV doesn't have to be brainless!

I know this is an old post, but the video doesn't seem to exist there anymore. Can you tell us anything about it so we can find it via other means?
