Kia ora. I enjoyed seeing you all work together in groups last week to write your newspaper reports - what a lot of imagination you showed.  This week, I have purchased some old school paper newspapers so we can look at some examples of the language and set out of articles, opinion pieces, editorials etc. We are also going to look over the assessment task.  You will have in class time to work on your assessment - but you will also need to spend some home time getting it completed. This is the really busy time of the term, so come prepared (novel completed, slideshow notes completed, devices charged etc).
