Using mentor anthology pages, folded booklet samples, and a teacher-modeled planning template, students map the parts of their Belonging zine: personal narrative page, short story analysis with text evidence insert, and brief author’s purpose statement. The class names what makes a draft readable for an outside audience, including headings, quotation formatting, and visual balance. Students complete a page-by-page blueprint that links each section to evidence or scenes already collected in earlier phases.
