Of the 6,000 items in our library, 4% are magazines, including American Girl, Ask, Chop Chop, Discovery Girls, National Geographic Kids, and Sports Illustrated for Kids. Third and fourth graders went through them and made a list of how magazines are different from books. For example:
- lots of headlines on the front cover, rather than just one title
- flimsier construction
- departments that appear each month
- lots of photos
We discussed text features like section heads and captions, and the students spent the next library class finding examples in issues of Ranger Rick.
Here are Room 9 and 11 students working:
