Writing scripts for news reports

The Grade 4 students have been working in small groups, creating a News script based on real events at ISPP.

The students looked at the Catfish example again and highlighted technical words and interesting sentences. They then edited their scripts to make them sound more professional.

The students will perform tomorrow. They will film using iPads and the Green screen. They will then edit and create an iMovie of their news broadcast.

Disclaimer: The students are playing characters - Mr Barry, Ms Paula, Ms Marcelle and Ms Alison in their stories. They wrote the lines of these characters - thinking about what they would say if interviewed.

Here are some of the scripts.

ON SITE
Nikor / Reporter: Today I have Mr.Barry the Director of ISPP with me.
Mr Barry why did you choose to move to a new campus?


Lei Jun / Mr Barry: I chose to build a new campus because I thought the old ISPP was a bit small and I thought the kids needed more room to have fun and learn. We wanted to buy our own land and build a school for our students.


Nikor / Reporter: What do you think are the good things about ISPP?


Lei Jun / Mr Barry: I think setting is great. The students have lots of room to play sports, swim, and learn. The after school activities are also great because they help children be healthy, balanced and have fun, The students really enjoy the after school program.


Nikor / Reporter: Thank you for answering these questions Mr Barry.
Back to you Jayco.
NEWSROOM
Newsreader /  Jayco : Now we will be talking about ISPP’s history.
ISPP started in 1989 with 6 students aged 3 to 7.
In 1990, in a rented villa, ISPP took the first real steps to become a normal day school.
Early in 1996, a formal learning support programme was developed and a full-time learning support teacher was employed later in the year.
20 years later the school has grown and many developments have taken place. They now have close to 800 students and are now at an enormous new campus.
Nikor is at the new campus and will be giving us more information.


ON SITE
Nikor / reporter: Here, I have a designer and builder. She is one of the experts who helped to build ISPP. Thank you for talking to us Seoyeon Baek. Why did you choose this job?


Seoyeon / Builder: I chose this job to build ISPP because I like kids and I felt like that I am helping the students while building the school. I have a friend that sends her kids in Elementary school, and I wanted to build a more better school for my friend’s  kids and the other students too.


Nikor / reporter: What was the hardest thing while building the school?


Seoyeon / builder: The hardest thing was the worries. Like what if the kids don’t like it or they might move to another school. What if they find some other builders instead of me because I am not good enough.


Nikor / Reporter: Ok. Here comes the last question. What do you like about working for ISPP?


Seoyeon / Builder: My friend sends her kids to ISPP because I told her that ISPP is a good school and that kids can learn a lot and enjoy, and have fun at school with friends. We have built a beautiful new campus with lots of space to play and learn.


Nikor / Reporter: Ok. Thank you. Over to you in the studio Jayco

Nikor / reporter: The first Question is what do you like about the new ISPP campus so far?


Lei Jun / student: What I like about ISPP so far is that there is a big field where we can do P.E and play football. We can exercise and get fit.


Nikor / reporter: How did you feel on your first day of school?
Lei Jun / student: I felt shy but then they have a helpful system where you have a buddy - somebody looks after you and tells you where to go for one week in case you get lost. I even made best friends with some students. The new campus is so big I was glad I had a buddy so I would not get lost.


Nikor / Reporter: Very interesting Visal. Thank you for being in the interview.

G4 News broadcast -The Dust storm at ISPP - SCRIPT

NEWSROOM
Newsreader:(K)- It's a sight you don't see every day. A dust storm headed north to ISPP. Sound crazy?  You heard right - a dust storm. That is what happened at ISPP. The dust storm was first spotted moving to ISPP neighborhood on October 6th.
We will speak to our on site reporter Kelly about the dust storm.

ON SITE
Reporter / Kelly: I have a witness here that were caught in the storm. Sal is a student at ISPP. Sal, have you ever seen a dust storm at ISPP before?

Sal (student)- Well I have seen a dust storm but never at ISPP.

Reporter / Kelly- What happened yesterday? Can you describe the scene?

Sal - I was just walking to my car after school when the wind picked up. It was dirty and dusty. My eyes filled with dirt and I had to close my eyes. I could hear people running towards their cars and screaming. I ran towards the car park but the dust storm got worse. I stopped, covered my face and waited for a moment. My nanny stayed with me while we waited for the wind to die down.

Reporter / Kelly - Then what happened?

Sal: When the dust died down there were people crying and some people's eyes started to hurt. There was dust everywhere, even on the roof.

Reporter/ Kelly - Wow! How do you feel now?

Sal- I hate dust storms and they are dangerous and scary. I am okay but will avoid dust storms in the future.

Reporter / Kelly- and I also I wouldn't go near the dust storm.

NEWS ROOM
News reporter(K)- We have an expert on storms in the studio. Welcome Mr Lukas.

Lukas (Expert): Dust storms in Cambodia are aggressive. The storm yesterday occurred because there is a lot of vacant land near ISPP. This area is being developed and once the roads, houses and businesses are set it should be less of a problem.

News reporter(K)- We have some footage of the dust storm captured by a visitor on his phone.  

Film of storm
(Lukas and Sal is in the storm running from the dust a picture of the dust storm)
NEWS ROOM
Expert (L)- This storm is really quite normal considering the amount of dust in the air. It can be a bit dangerous so people need to be careful. Many children were affected. There were injuries to the eye and mouth of many students. All caused by a simple dust storm.

News reporter(K)- What is happening at the school now? Let’s ask our on site Reporter.

ON SITE
News reporter-S: All is much calmer now at ISPP. The wind has died down and everyone has gone home. Experts say it is to be expected in this new area of construction. I am getting a little bit scared of dust storms too. I think I will leave and take shelter. I will pass you to you Kelly. She will tell you about the clean up.

News reporter (K) It was a hard work doing the cleaning up and the brushing. The cleaners and staff needed to help. I found out that a big flat plastic almost like metal flew off the roof from the early years playing area during the storm. ISPP is still in the process of  construction and this was not yet nailed down. It could be dangerous for everybody especially the little children if there is metal roofing that is not nailed on. I will now speak to the Principal of ISPP - Ms Paula.

(Kelly Interview with Mrs, Paula)
News reporter: Is the dust storm likely to return?

Ms Paula: Until the building is finished in this area it may happen again. We have a storm warning system and will make sure everyone has time to get out of the wind … if it happens again.  

Reporter /kelly- Thank You Ms Paula. It looks like ISPP is off the hook for now. Neighbours say this is the only dust storm heading at ISPP in many years. If it does happen again I am sure they will be prepared.
Back to you Kanika

NEWS ROOM
News reader/ Kanika - It looks like these dust storms can be very wild in Cambodia.  Tune  in tomorrow with ISPP broadcast news to find out about special events coming up at the new campus. Thank you for watching see you next time.
