This term in Room 8 we will be writing reports. During our Guided Reading time we have been reading lots of reports on different things so we know what a great report needs!
In our groups we have read horse reports, kangaroo reports, zookeeper reports, sun bear reports and even reports on colossal squids! After reading these reports we came up with a list of things that a report needs - W.I.L.F (What I am Looking For) for a great report. Now we are working in pairs and using what we have read to record key words and plan a report.
This week we have been presenting our carefully planned News Reports on an article of our choice. Our presentations have gone very well so far with people using loud, clear voices to speak to an audience. Our buddy assessors have to watch very carefully to assess us against the criteria. They have given some very thoughtful feedback for us to work on and improve our News Reports. One thing many of us need to work on is eye contact - this means looking up briefly at times to the audience while we are presenting.

What are we looking for in a News Report? Eye contact (Did they look at the class?) Clear voice (Could everyone hear them?) Did they tell you Who, When, Where, What, Why? Were they prepared? (Did they know what to say?) Your buddy will assess you against these 4 things after you have presented.
