When we report yes/no questions, the verb is not in question form and we don't use the helping verb. We use if instead.

Podcast, Radio programme or newsround

Change your news report into a live report on the radio or podcast (audio) or into a newsround ( video)

Rules

Write as you would speak

Be CLEAR

Keep it short ( CONCISE)

Use CORRECT grammar ( reported speech)

With audio you want to describe a picture for the audience so they can see where the story is going and what happened.

Work in your newspaper groups, and decide what you are going to do.

AUDIO ( radio / podcast): record yourselves and one person has to edit the recordings into one recording. You need to start and finish your story like a relay race. Pick up where the other left off and introduce or pass it on to the next speaker. 

VIDEO ( newsround): Each person records themselves reading or reporting the news with a suitable background. Think of an opening sentence and how you will pass it on to the next speaker. All the video recording must be edited into one video.
