October 11

Good morning Year 9

We have lots to do today after that long weekend.

1) Fact or Opinion? The first thing we are going to do today is take a quiz!!! We are going to do an exercise designed to help us distinguish between fact and opinion. As newsletter writers it will be important for us to have this skill so let's go.

Now, let's continue. We need to investigate (explore) newsletter design and language.
2) Let's open Publisher and look at predefined newsletter templates.

3) Then, do a search using the keywords "newsletter design". Can you find a website that will help us produce a first-rate newsletter? We need an introduction to newsletters and information to become experts on: planning, writing, layouts, graphics, and production.

4) Next, let's view a sample newsletter

5) Finally, summarize all that we did and talked about today in your process journal (your blog)
