👉 A non-academic periodical publication, generally consisting of sheets of paper folded in half and stapled at the fold.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
We’ve got a word today, a curious thing,
Let’s break it down, hear what it can bring.
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
“A non-academic periodical, shining light!”
Now, "periodical," that's the key, you see,
Means something published regularly – like for you and me!
Think of newspapers, delivered each day,
Or maybe newsletters, showing their way.
Then “non-academic” - let’s leave books aside,
This isn’t study stuff, with knowledge to confide.
And finally, "consisting of sheets," a simple fact,
Like pages printed, for you to inspect!
“Folded in half,” like a letter neat and true,
Then “stapled at the fold,” it's bound for you!
So a
magazine
is a book – but not quite,
It’s filled with stories, colorful and bright.
Think pictures, articles, fun and glee,
A publication printed for all to see!
Does that make sense? Any questions so far? Let's discuss!
