Classroom Reporter From Jo Elliott, a fifth grade teacher at James Knoll Elementary School in Ortonville, Minnesota: “My students take turns being the classroom ‘reporter.’ Whenever something newsworthy takes place, a student may take a picture. We have a schedule to show whose turn it is to be reporter. That student then takes a ‘reporter sheet’ and writes about the event. When the film is developed, the students place their photograph and their report in a scrapbook. This continues throughout the year. Toward the end of the school year, the students may take the scrapbook home so their parents can see the pictures and read the news events. |
