Task, Purpose and Audience is a free printable Grade 5 English worksheet on matching organisation to what a piece must do, aligned to Common Core standard W.5.4. It prints 2 questions with an answer key on its own sheet of paper, in 25 versions, 15 of them with different questions, so no two pupils in the class work from the same page. Print it from the browser or download it as a PDF — no account, no email.
Set 15 of 25 · the same problems every time you open this link.
Set 1 has all 25 in a single PDF. 15 of these 25 sets ask different questions — this skill does not have 25 questions to give. The rest reorder them, so no two pupils have the same paper in front of them.
