4) One obituary
5) One front page news article (detailing a key event at the ranch)

effect of your presentation. This project must be word-processed and should
fit on two double-sided sheets of A4 paper. Further instructions will be given

Student comments (What are you pleased with? What do you need to work on?)
I donʼt really like layout of the first page and organization of the first page but I really like the second
page.
Iʼm proud of my opinionated article. I think I really used my imagination to think of what I could report it
on and how I could report it, from what point of view. Iʼm proud of it now.
I didnʼt really know how to end my front page article and the ending only makes sense if you read it in a
certain way,if you read it in another way you would think more should follow it.
Teacher Comments
Zoe, you are developing your writing skills well by thinking carefully about the purpose and
audience you are writing for. You planned this project well and brought a lot of your own
original ideas into it which I am really please to see. There are still little lapses in layout and
language use but generally there is more precision and focus in your work which is really good
to see. Keep this focus on the specific needs of a project up and you will continue to develop
your reading and writing skills. Good to also see that you have put time and effort into your
writing on the blog, it all helps.
Dear parents,
To support the students technology skills we are trialling a fully digital method of
communication for this assignment. An e-mail will be sent to you to explain how to leave
comments on the students blog/ digital portfolio. Please make sure you do acknowledge that
you have seen the assessment information.
Please e-mail me at campbellc@yis.ac.jp of you have any questions about this process.
Thanks,
Colin Campbell
