From monsters, to music, to
dragon slayers, these are just some of the many faces of Scope. Twice a month
the student body receives an insight to the lives of some extraordinary characters
like Alicia Keys and Martin Luther King Jr. through this exiting magazine
Articles, plays, and puzzles on subjects such as: Writing
to the Stars, Harry Potter, and Wanted: Your Opinions, make you feel able
to participate. The Scope magazines are filled with stories, interviews, and
word matches which can keep you entertained for hours. Say it's a lonely night
you have nothing to do. You're already done with your homework and all you
can do is watch TV, and that too has lost your interest. What can you do?
Read the Scope magazine which will most definitely keep you busy.
A few of the favorites are Frankenstein, LL Cool J, and
The Dragon Slayers. These are the favorites because they are imaginative,
informative, and help the students improve problem solving skills for things
such as Science Fair.
'I really liked the Dragon Slayers issue because it showed
that its not only guys who save people, and it really helped me with the thinking
process involved with the science fair," stated eighth grader Juliana
McCumbers.
Eighth grader Kristin Kealuala said, "I enjoyed the
Frankenstein issue. The Frankenstein story kept me locked into that issue
for a long time."
"Another thing," said eighth grader Leighanne
Green, "Is I really thought the LL Cool J was the best because I enjoyed
the interview with LL Cool J. I had never known any of that information before.
I also liked it because there were a lot of difficult words that I am now
able to use and understand."
Finally Scope helps develop reading comprehension and appropriate sentence
structure. Scope is a very helpful magazine when it comes to having to use
your brain and thanks to the Scholastic Reading Foundation we have this magazine
every month.
