Evaluation for Adapted News Report and fairy tale assignment

For the adapted news report we had to target children ages 6-11 year olds about the raise in the age that children have to stay in education until.

The two key facts that I found were important to include in my news report were; the options of qualifications you can study at 16 years old and to overstress the fact that the new law is that you have to stay in education until you are 18.  

For this assignment I found it very difficult to use the appropriate language for this age group, to make this easier for my-self I researched how Newsbeat on CBBC present the news as they have a similar age group to the one I have to target for this assignment. I also found it difficult to fit in all the key information within the space of time allocated, I achieved this by breaking down the key information and repositioning my script.

The things I would like to improve are is the language in my script as I feel that it isn’t catchy enough for a news broadcast.

Fairy Tale assignment

When asked to write a conventional fairy tale assignment, I started to research classical fairytales as I wasn't very clued up on the actual fairytales. I started to think what modern day issues could have some relation to fairytales, I found Cinderella an easy fairy tale to base my script on as it has the common situation of family abuse in it. So i decided to represent Angelina's family as the cindrella family and to have the iconic fairy godmother who comes to save cinderella.

What I found hard about writing this fairy tale was to make sure i stick to the original fairy tale script as I seemed to go off track and my story started to have no resemblence of a fairytale. My friends in my class helped with my story line and after having some help i found my assignment was alot easier to write.

Next time i will spend more time on planning the assignment.
