We have just completed our first non-fiction magazine. Students gained an understanding of: Reading for information. Using text features to help them understand their reading, like bold print, maps, headings and pictures and captions. Weaving facts into a non-fiction story or an article. I am working on the most efficient way to "publish the magazine." I have just 4 copies this time. In seeing the results, I have some ideas about how students can learn from this first experience. This is an exciting way for us to work together to create a project as well as gain more writing experience. You can see the "magazine" below by following this link. Students will take home their piece of the magazine and they will take turns bringing the 4 copies home to share after the break. Wonderopolis - Edition 1
