Feature Article Update

This is the last week we will be working on Feature Articles in school.  I recommend that they are turned in on Friday, February 25th; however, I will accept them on Monday, March 7th as well.

Students are continuing to revise their article this week.  They are creating a double page spread and adding text features (title, subtitle, headings, pictures, captions, text boxes, columns, page numbers, by line, dropped cap, various fonts....).  We will edit the articles on Wednesday, in class.

If you and/or your child has any questions, comments, or concerns, PLEASE come see me.  My goal is to teach your child how to be a writer and to learn how to research and write nonfiction information successfully in the future.  My goal is not to make this particular piece of writing be perfect.  Writing is a process.  Learning is a process.  I teach the writer, not the piece of writing.
