Extra, Extra, Read All About It!

Students in Mrs. Paschoal and Mrs. Sanders' classes are giving the latest news from the area. The students and I talked about text features of a newspaper, shared local newspaper titles, and will write informational texts based on the book, Tuesday, by  David Weisner. The suspense was eerie all throughout the book. The students put on their detective hats to see what events took place so they could share with the public. We talked about Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How it all happened in the Blythewood Community (for pretend). Ask these students about reading their articles on the front page of the Columbia Star (for pretend)! They will surely make front page with these articles. :)
