Thank you to everyone who responded about elementary periodicals. Most o=
f you check them out to students using pocket cards or simple barcodes. H=
ere are other responses:
The 2nd grade students each get a Highlights and a list of things to look
for (table of contents, illustration, picture/photo, joke/riddle, cartoon=
,
poem, letter to the editor), then they have a similar lesson with a
newspaper. Of course, there is a short lesson prior to each of these
classes explaining a periodical, the different types, and what can be fou=
nd
in each. After we have the lesson, we allow 2nd grade to check out
magazines as an overnight check out. The 2nd grade students each get a Hi=
ghlights and a list of things to look

I am going to use some of them as a basis of centers next year. Some hav=

the various subject matter. I also think I am going to "magazine talk" s=
ome particularly good articles that I think they might like. =20

I teach them that reading a magazine is
different from reading a book. You look at the Table of Contents and cho=
ose
the articles which interest you rather than reading front to back. You a=
lso
read at different speeds depending upon your purpose for reading (faster =
for
the short jokes and fun articles, and slower if it is an informational
article.) I also explain how to use the Table of Contents, how to find t=
he
price of the magazine, the address of the publisher, the frequency of
publication, and the author of the article if it is given. We talk about=
the
purpose of ads in magazines and why some magazines might not have any. W=
e
talk also about the audience of the magazine and whether or not the ads a=
re
appropriate to those who read the magazine. Then after my general lesson=
, I
have them explore a magazine of their choice and answer questions about i=
t
such as: What is the name of your magazine? How much does it cost? Cho=
ose
one article, write it's name and the page on which it is found. Then
summarize what it is about in 3 sentences. Choose a magazine advertiseme=
nt.
What is it for? Do you think that will succeed in getting the readers of
this magazine to buy the product? why or why not? The last question is D=
o
you think you would spend your own money to buy this magazine anytime in =
the
future? Why or why not? they really love this lesson since most of them =
do
not regularly receive magazines in their homes and the format is very
interesting to them if they are reading a magazine such as Nickelodeon,
American girl, etc. GI explain to them that reading a magaizne is
