Suggested Writing Project: Personal Virtual Magazine
Notes:
* Steps to writing a new style of magazine article will be introduced one at a time
* Take your time to complete each step at your own pace
* Share rough copies and good copies with me so that I can provide you with feedback
* Good copies should be completed in ONE Google Slides Slideshow - Name your slideshow '(Your Name)'s Magazine' and put it in your Language Folder
* Include items like pictures, charts, maps, facts boxes, timelines to make your article more interesting and appealing
* Article #1 - 'How-to' Article (See last week's post for steps, samples and outlines)
Article #2 - Information Article
***Step #5 will be posted Wednesday, April 15***
* REMEMBER to take your time and work at your own pace.
Today's Step
Step #4 - Rough Copy
* An outline for the rough copy of your information article has been shared with you in your Language Folder.
* Remember to use paragraph form to write your Lead (Introduction) and Sub-topics.
* Take your time! Make sure to finish your research before starting your rough copy.
The more details you collect in Step #3, the easier it will be to write your paragraphs.
* Here is another example of an Information Article:
Student Sample - Coatis Page 1
Student Sample - Coatis Page 2
* Use the ‘Owl Samples’ and ‘Student Samples’ as guidelines for writing your information article as well.
Step #3 - RESEARCH
* Use the 'Information Article Research Chart' (shared with you in your Language Folder) for your research
* Choose 3 of your sub-topics (from step #2) to research
* The 4th box on your Information Article Research Chart is for 'Interesting Facts' that do not fit in with your sub-topics
(You can use these facts for a 'Fun Facts Box' on your actual magazine article)
* Make sure to write DETAILED point-form notes on each of your sub-topic
* DO NOT COPY AND PASTE your information
Suggested Search Engines:
* Kiddle
Important: At the bottom of your Information Article Research Chart, make a list of the websites where you got your information (use size 10 font).
Example:
1) 10 Tiger Facts. National Geographic for Kids. https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/animals/general-animals/10-tiger-facts/
Step #2
Now that you have looked over some actual samples from Owl magazine, you can see their are different styles of informative magazine articles.
However, they all have one MAIN TOPIC with 4 to 6 SUB-TOPICS about that main topic.
Today's step is to BRAINSTORM some topics that you would like to write an informative article about.
After that, SELECT one that interests you the most, but be careful to ensure it is RESEARCHABLE.
Finally, write down 3 to 5 sub-topics about your main topic.
