8th graders became part of a magazine publishing company as they created decade magazines. They researched people and events from a particular decade to feature in their original magazines.

The students took on the roles of writers, editors, graphic artists, and layout designers as they published their original magazines. Some of those magazines published were Looking Back On The 30's, Life in the Sixties, and American Times -- A Look Back at the 40's.

The magazines were printed and bound. They are on display in the classroom,
and copies were made to add to their language arts portfolios.
