Term 1 Week 11

Good afternoon Room 1, I hope you had a great day!
Welcome to the last week of Term 1. It has been busy but enjoyable and quite productive I think!

Homework this week will be based around your Information Report. In order to get this done you will not have to do your current events work or reading activity this week. You will however, need to spend your homework time ensuring you are on track to meet Friday's 8:30am deadline.

By the end of today you should have finished your first draft and revised its paragraph and overall structure. If you had not then this becomes homework as I will be using languages time tomorrow to give you feedback on this draft. Tomorrow during school time you will have time after languages to do a second draft taking into account the feed back you have received. On Tuesday night for homework you will begin the publishing stage if your report has been signed of by me.

Don't forget that it is an important part of your final report to include graphics and sub headings to make your work more interesting and engaging. Use your knowledge of info-graphic design to help you with this.

And finally before I forget; make sure you have included a bibliography!
