Here is the information I received.  I have done this lesson and it seemed
to go pretty well.  We'll see today how much information they retained.

-I found that using the Boys' Quest and Hopscotch as samples worked out the
best for me. They had the best variety of various items. I had enough back
issues saved so each child could have one during the lesson. Here is a list
of the things I mentioned:
-Find the cover. What is the name of the magazine? What is the month and
year of issue? (Mention that some magazines are not issued on a monthly
schedule - these two are issued on alternate months).
-Look on the inside cover. Do you see the little symbols? (the award
symbols). Those mean the magazine has received awards. Now look at the tiny
print. It tells you the publisher's information, the subscription rate, and
where to send your questions or subscription money.
-Find the Table of Content. (Can you tell which articles are regular
features and which are just for this month? Some magazines list them in
groups).
-Now look through your magazine. Let's find a:
-make-believe story (how do we know? illustrations can clue us in)
-a true story (how do we know? photos are usually good indicators)
-a photo with a caption (do you know what a caption is?)
-a poem
-a puzzle
-a craft or project
-a letter to the editor ("Potsy's Mailbox" in Hopscotch)

Thank you VERY much to the 2 responses I received!!!
