News Report

Use these tips below to help you write a news report. Think of something that happened at camp, school, sports practice, a sports game, or just make something up. 

 How are you going to plan? That is up to you. But remember I should be able to see evidence of planning. You might use a thinking map, a planner we have already used, or find a new one. It is up to you! Once planned I should see evidence of drafting, editing and proofreading.

Once you have published your report and it is on your blog put a link to it in the comment section below. That makes it easier for us to enjoy your report without having to go searching for it. If not finished in class time - complete for homework.

100WC Week#26

The prompt this week is:

…as they turned the corner…

Do think about your story before you start to write. A plan can help make sure you get in all your ideas and that they make sense. When you have written it, ‘mumble’ read it to yourself to check that it says what you think it does!

Remember, once you have completed your 100WC and put on your blog you must put the link to your writing here in the comments and also submit it on the https://100wc.net/ website.
