“Make me THINK…Make me CARE…Make me CONSIDER…Spark an INTEREST!” This mantra encompasses the overall theme for the second grade Magazine Feature Article (MFA) unit of study developed through a collaborative project through Genesee Intermediate School District and Oakland Schools. Magazine Feature Articles are a required informational writing by MDE (W.GN.02.03). They don’t just provide facts and events, rather they zoom in on a particular, interesting aspect of the topic and provide the reader with a new perspective or angle. This session will provide an overview of what is important to teach in this challenging unit of study for second graders. Together, we will explore how to use mentor text to help students recognize and produce important characteristics of a MFA. Come learn first hand how to guide students in writing a “Think About It” article!
** Please bring magazine feature articles appropriate for second graders to the session.
