*** Parents,***
I want to let you know that sometimes I have to change my lesson plan to meet the needs of my students. This description below is my basic plan, but I do make changes when I feel it is best for the student's learning. I may not always get it updated on the site immediately so also check your child's Agenda for a day by day update. Thank you for checking my webpage!
Monday: No School
Tuesday: We will take notes of parts of the magazine and begin identifying them. Homework: Spelling Workbook Lesson 3 and it will be due on Thursday. Test on Friday so study spelling words and identifying parts of a magazine.
Wednesday: Working on parts of a magazine. We will do an activity by looking at a variety of articles in groups and identifying the different parts. Each group will share in front of class.
Thursday: We will go to the library. We will continue identifying parts of magazine and magazine article. Homework: Spelling workbook lesson 3 due today. Study for spelling and identifying parts of a magazine.
Friday: We will take Spelling test on Friday. We will test on identifying parts of a magazine. Magazine test will NOT be on the definitions of the parts of a magazine, but rather being able to identify different parts of a magazine.
Have a great weekend!
Notes
Cover of Magazine:
Cover- Usually has art or photos as well as headlines to announce the lead article and other feature articles.
Inside a Magazine:
Contents Page- this page is at the front of the magazine and list articles and tells you waht pages they are on like a table of contents in a book.
Magazine Article Structure:
A. Title- Most magazine articles have titles that are written to catch your interest.
B. Subtitle- An article may have a subtitle, a scondary title that tells you more about an article.
C. Heading- Headings are words or phrases used to break up the text of an article into sections. They're often printed in a size or color intended to stand out. You can sometimes outline the main points of an article by listing the headings.
D. Illustrations- Are often used to help you picture something described in an article and provide more information. Examples: pictures, photos, drawings, graphs, maps or tables.
E. Captions- they accompany the illustrations by briefly explaining or describing the illustrations in print.
F. Side Bar- A shorter piece that accompanies a longer article. It usually amplifies or highlights the main text.
