Guest Student Blogger!

Sorry for the delay...I've been meaning to post this for awhile! I draw names out of a bucket to decide which lucky student will be our guest student blogger. This time  it is EC! This is her short news report on our Skype chat with Luke Navarro. Our focus in this task was to use the data from our skype interview and create a short news report. Students were asked to a) be as specific as possible, b) include all 5W and How, c) use a variety of sentences and d) use transition words, like first, next, then, finally, etc.


Luke Navarro Report by EC


Who is Luke Navarro? Luke Navarro is a game reviewer! 


On Tuesday, November 8, 2011, Luke and Mrs. Johnson's Gr. 7/8 class had an interview on Skype to talk about his job and he answered any questions we had.


First, he told us he doesn't get paid for his job. Then, he told us his hobbies besides gaming and reading are hiking, cooking and gardening. Finally, he told us that his favourite game right now is Skyrim.


It was awesome talking and hanging out with Luke Navarro!

Chris Simon by J.S.
What does Chris Simon do?

Chris Simon is a reporter. He writes for the Scope of Innisfil. He came to Goodfellow PS in Innisifl Ontario, Room 142. He came on Wednesday, September 28, 2011, to talk to us students of Mrs. Johnson's room about his job, how he started at Innsifil Scope. Also, he shared writing techniques to inspire us and to show how writing can happen outside of school.

When Chris Simon came into our school he gave an interview so we asked questions. Here are some questions and answers that we asked him. The first question was: what other occupations have you had? Answer: Chris Simon worked at Wal-Mart and Pet-smart before he was a writer. Here is another question we asked: what is the best thing about your job? Answer: the best thing about his job is talking to famous people and talking to people with interesting stories.

I really appreciated Chris Simon coming to our school! I learned a lot about his job.
