Options and ideas

Today we begin thinking about our topics for a magazine article. We will be writing magazine articles. Your job today is to think about at least three different things you’d like to research. What interests you? Do you have strong opinions about anything? What do you know something about…but want to know more about?!? Here are mine…

I think having a positive attitude is vital to a happy life. I feel strongly about that as my Dad taught me all about being positive.

Peppermint. I love peppermint. I love how it tastes and smells. Peppermint has lots of beneficial health benefits. I want to know more about this.

Running is my third idea. I’ve run a couple of 5Ks. I love running. I haven’t been running for a long time and now I’m thinking I may begin again. I could write about how to begin running and keep running.

So good to see everyone…

I love the start of a new quarter. Things are fresh and we can start new! We cleaned our folders and found our brand new seats. We are venturing into the world of non-fiction this quarter. It’s a place where many are uncomfortable. Our journey began today with a non-fiction video followed by a written response. The students wrote eloquently about this video and their reaction to it. Take a moment to watch the video. Enjoy!
