Grade 8 & 9 students have been learning all about News and what it takes to write a Newspaper Report, analysing different news articles and other mediums and identifying bias in News. The unit culminated in a Summative assessment wherein they had to report on the news at KIS, with an element of Service to certain stakeholders of the community.
The Statement of Inquiry for this Unit was ‘Perspective can influence and be influenced by an audience and is shaped by the deliberate use of stylistic elements’
