(3-5 min.)

3.) Groups: Okay now get back into your groups and finish the assembly of your magazine.
I’d like it to be the cover, the full page add on the inside front cover, then the table of contents, then the research article, then the other three articles.
Any part that cannot be finished in class today must be the responsibility of someone to finish for tonight.
Groups will reconvene to actually assemble their magazines into an actual product.
(20- 25 min.)
