Analyzing Author's Multiple Purposes

Read the article, then answer each question. For the first question, select all answers that apply.

Read the Article

At the end of each semester, hundreds of notebooks still have blank pages. Instead of tossing them, the Cedar Street Community Center is collecting gently used notebooks for its free homework club. Last year, the club helped more than 80 students practise reading and maths. Families can drop off notebooks at the center’s front desk through October 18. Students, check your backpacks for notebooks you no longer need. A small donation can give another learner a fresh place to write. The center also needs volunteers to organize supplies on Saturday, October 21. Sign up at the front desk and help make the homework club ready for a new semester.
