Star
Reporter ***All dates are subject to
change! If this particular week
disrupts your schedule, please let me know ahead of time so we can arrange a
trade with another child. Your child will receive the “Star
Reporter” folder on the Friday before he/she is to be the reporter. This folder will include all of the
information and materials your child needs to be a successful reporter. Here is a summary of how it works: *Monday-Backyard News:
The reporter will present information such as: activities they enjoy,
who is in their family, etc. *Tuesday-Local News:
The reporter will present a piece of local news from the newspaper,
magazine, or from the televised news. *Wednesday-National News:
The reporter will present a piece of national news from the newspaper,
internet, a magazine, or from the televised news. *Thursday-World News:
The reporter will present a piece of world news from the newspaper,
internet, a magazine, or from the televised news. Guidelines 1.
The news must be current news. 2.
All news must be positive, happy news! 3.
This can be a family activity.
The children will need help choosing an article
and understanding the language. 4.
Please have your child bring in the article if the news is from a
magazine or
newspaper. They should have a
written or oral summary prepared. We
are
not talking term papers here! A
few sentences will do! Please discuss
the
who, what, where, when, and how of each piece of news. We look forward to learning a lot
about the world around us from this reporting! Here are some links to kid news websites: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/kids/ |
