Dear Reader,
We are so excited to share our writing with you! Through the past two months we have interviewed, drafted, edited, designed, and now published our writing. Publishing is something new to most of my peers, so we are delighted to be able to share these with you.
Each page you read in this eBook is a feature article about a person who is special to each student. We interviewed a person we know with an interesting job or aspect of their life. After the interview, using quotes and other information they gave us, we formed an engaging article featuring them and their eye-grabbing aspect of life. Being interviewed is something that most of us will do in the future, so it was fun for our heroes to be interviewed and for us to see what it takes to interview someone. Let us be the first to tell you: it's not easy, and there's much more preparation than you think!
During this project we had lots of goals to reach by the end. Those goals would help us reach the end along with making our writing better. Every student in Mrs. Jones's homeroom had five important goals they had to follow.
The first one is, “Students will incorporate learned narrative craft techniques to engage the reader.” This means we had to use dialogue, the figurative language we have learned in years before, and narration. The second is, “Students will consider word choice to develop a formal tone that flatters the subject,” meaning that we used a formal tone, like what you would find in a newspaper. This tone should flatter the person or what makes them sound cool or amazing. The third one is, “Students will smoothly integrate details, anecdotes, and quotations to develop the angle on the subject.” In other words, we included quotes, facts, and little stories to keep the readers engaged.
Two more left! The fourth is, “Students will plan and write using an organized structure, beginning with an engaging introduction and reinforced by a bold conclusion.” We worked really hard to get our reader’s attention and leave them with a big idea at the end. Finally, the last goal is, “Students will collaboratively publish a multimedia eBook that is creative, organized, eye-catching, and flatters the subject.” We got to publish our writing, which is something new most of my classmates haven't done before.
The purpose of these articles was for the children to go and learn how to interview someone over 18 or important in their lives. Then write what they learned about the person in an article. Some interviewed siblings, grandparents, friends, parents, or even family friends. As you read these articles, feel free to click on any pictures or videos, for they are for your convenience and interest.
All of the 7th grade at Sacred Heart Jesus Catholic School have worked very hard on this and spent lots of time making these articles very fun and interesting to read. We hope you like reading them and clicking on all of the fun links and cool pictures!
God bless you all!
Sincerely,

My Dad Works at a Facility which Makes COVID 19 Test Kits
My dad helps people all over the world
My dad does a lot while working for ThemoFisher
There are a plethora of skills to have in order to get this job
At 5:30 in the morning the alarm goes off and my dad Jon eats breakfast and is getting ready to leave to leave to work which he enjoys doing. Everyday my dad goes to work at ThermoFisher Scientific, and he loves working there because he knows that he is helping millions of people by making the vaccine which is letting families all over the world know if they have a positive or negative test so they can protect themselves and the people around them. My dad Jon enjoys working a rotating schedule which is basically where he works two days and is off two days so that he has more time to spend with his family.
My dad does a plethora while working for ThermoFisher Scientific; he manages over 125 people at the same time who make COVID test kits so people could get tested for COVID-19. The people that he is managing have made millions of COVID-19 test kits already which is very impressive. Everyday my dad Jon manages his 125 employees to be sure they are doing their jobs correctly, and are breaking records each and every day for how many COVID test kits they can make in a day which I think is very impressive.
There are several degrees and skills you have to have in order to work for ThermoFisher Scientific. This includes having several years of management experience. Another one is that you have to have experience in aseptic behavior which is basically being extremely clean and washing your hands often. Another degree or skill you have to have in order to get this job is a degree in chemical engineering. And you have to have experience in startup manufacturing and continuous improvement. Finally, you have to have many years of engineering automation experience.

My dad does a collection of things for his job. Here are a few of them. My, dad is an operations manager for VTM (Viral Transmission Media) microbiology mission for ThermoFisher Scientific. And my dad manages 125 people who make COVID-19 test kits for people all around the globe. “I Love having a job that contributes to a solution for the overall efforts to help our current situation with COVID-19.”
It took several years for my dad to get the job he has today
My dad has a very interesting job
It took several years for my dad to get the job he has today. You have to have 4 years of school to get this job, and you have to have several years of work experience. My dad has been working at ThermoFisher Scientific for about a year so he is pretty new to his job at ThermoFisher Scientific and he is already breaking many records each day for how many COVID-19 test kits they can make in a day which is very impressive.
My dad has a distinctive and interesting job. His job is extraordinary because he manages people who make COVID test kits for people all around the globe. That is crucial so people know whether they got a positive or negative test, so they can protect themselves and the people around them.
