PERFORMANCE TASK: NEWSLETTER for Grade 8 | 2023

In this output students are going to put together varied articles in a newsletter. 

What is a newsletter?

It is a paper that is not as plain and as news-laden as a newspaper but not as feature-packed and as creative as a magazine. Hence it is something in between. You can be creative but not too much. You can put news but not too much. 

There are templates you can use at Google docs and at Microsoft publisher. Use the one that you can work better between the two. Also consider which between the two application can give you better results.

You better check out the samples to see for yourself. CLICK HERE FOR THE SAMPLE STUDENT WORKS

     important for any research report to have complete 
     citation and reference information.

Research Report

DISCLAIMER
The sample research report above is NOT mine. I took it from a Technical Writing book I bought but couldn't really find where it is now thus making it difficult for me to cite the source.
This presentation is intended only for information dissemination especially my class.
Once I have finally found the book, I would immediately cite the sources.
