Police Report Writing

Report Writing for a made up Police Report. Film scene examples are included in the PPT for pupils to analyse. Lots of discussion on the importance of giving accurate descriptions and that descriptions or narratives should not be exaggerated.

Film Scene:

• Children should watch the clip without taking notes.
• After they have watched it distract them (I started asking questions in French ca va, tu t’appelle comment etc) to throw them off.
• Then task them in their groups to answer the questions on the PPT.
• Ask the groups to share their info/descriptions and see if groups agree or disagree.
• Watch it again and have the children take notes. TP: Note taking is an important skill for Police Officers, Journalists, Reporters etc.

WAGOLL:

• Edit the example to make it specific to your location.
• Ask the children to highlight parts which meet the Success Criteria, on iPads or printed out copies.
