Welcome!

Voki Welcome Video

Here we are...approaching the end of the school year!

This project will give you a chance to "show off" and share with your teachers and classmates all that you have learned this year about reading, writing, and technology.

You will create a Writer's Newsletter which includes images as well as 6 articles written by YOU!

You will be graded on:

• ***How well you follow directions***

  • How well you utilize your time in the library

  • How well you use technology

  • The visual appearance of the finished newsletter. ***Every article must have a title, your name, a picture, and a caption.

  • And most importantly, your WRITING (spelling, grammar, punctuation, and structure).

Best of luck--I know your newsletters will be
