List Articles Text Set

Family Fun Magazine recommended by Dawn Mitchell.  List Articles are everywhere in this family friendly magazine.  Here are a few I found helpful as a model for writing and as a reader. "Tidying Tips" from My Great Idea - Inspired Tips and Creative Strategies From Our Readers - a regular column in Familyi Fun magazine.  April 2010 edition.  In this same edition is another list article in their fitness section titled, "5 ways to..foster a healthy body image".  Also there is another list article called "Secrets of Organized Homes" that uses a list structure to provide the reader with specific tips to organize certain areas of the house such as Kitchen Table and Counters, "Computer Area", "Sports Gear Zone", etc.  Also in this same edition is a list article devoted to "Our Favorite Board Games" where the writer provides the reader with a list of their top eight board games.

Recommended by Lori Milan Southern Living is a great place to find list articles. Two weeks ago, I was packing my mom's house to help her move. I decided to look through her old magazines before I threw them away. I was particularly looking for list articles. Of the 8 or so magazines that I flipped through, there was only 1 that didn't have a list article included. Southern Living is fabulous to share with readers of 5th 6th grade too, because they get it!! Even if it isn't interest, they understand what they are reading.

www.charlestonmag.com Recommended by Kelly Compton Charleston  "Charleston 101 defining moments that shaped our City".  I visited Charleston over Spring Break and cam across this article. This article list the 101 highlights that that have helped to make Charleston what it is today.  The list is numbered, the topic is written in a different print style for each artifact, dates are given of the atifact, pictures of the artifacts are there to be seen so connections are made, font colors are used to grasp the attention of the reader, short excerts are given so the reader gets the information needed without a long drawn out story. This was a good read especially since I had just been there.
