GENRE: Periodical:
Bi-monthly magazine for tween girls
HONORS: None

REVIEW: American Girl Magazine comes to us from the American Girl company that brings the American Girl dolls and book series. The intended audience for the magazine is tween girls between the ages of 8 and 14 and features a variety of articles, recipes, advice columns, fiction, arts and crafts, and activity ideas that would appeal to this age group.
OPINION: In my
experience with the magazine industry throughout my life, it seems that most
are targeted at women across all ages: Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Vogue, Teen
Vogue, Sassy, YM, etc, and though I take them with a grain of salt, they have
always been a guilty pleasure. Periodicals are good because they are constantly
changing with the trends and always up to date, and American Girl seems like a good introduction to magazines for
women.
IDEAS: Use some of the ideas, recipes, art and craft ideas as programming. For lesson ideas, use articles from the magazine to craft a lesson or assignment.
