Reporter Honor

Recreational Activities

Requirements

1. Tell your parents how a Club or Unit activity was carried out, using the appropriate words.

   Answer: With an adult's help: 1) choose an activity you took part in at the club; 2) remember what happened (where it was, who was there, what you did, how you felt); 3) tell your parents in order, from beginning to end, speaking clearly and calmly; 4) use the right words like "first", "then", and "at the end". — Telling a story well helps you speak properly and trains you to be like a reporter.

2. Write a news story about a special program held by your club or church.

   Answer: With an adult: 1) choose a special program (worship service, party, games event); 2) find out the answers to: what, who, when, where, and why; 3) write a short, catchy title; 4) write the news in a few sentences telling what happened; 5) if you want, attach a photo or a drawing. — A news story answers "what, who, when, where, and why" so the reader understands everything.

3. Prepare a research report on a special topic of your interest.

   Answer: With an adult: 1) choose a topic you like (animals, planets, a country); 2) look up information in books or on the internet with help; 3) write down the coolest things you learned; 4) organize them on a sheet with a title and drawings; 5) tell someone what you discovered. — Researching is looking for and gathering information to learn more about a subject.

4. Help prepare the publicity for a JA Service or a special activity of the Adventurer Club.

   Answer: With an adult: 1) find out the event's name, the day, the time, and the place; 2) make a colorful poster or invitation with this information; 3) write a cheerful sentence inviting people; 4) help spread the word, putting up the poster or showing the invitation to friends and family. — Advertising lets people know and gets them excited to come to the event.

5. Interview, with at least five questions, professionals who work in different fields.

   Answer: With an adult nearby: 1) choose people with different jobs (e.g., teacher, doctor, baker); 2) prepare at least 5 questions, like "What do you do in your job?" and "What do you like most?"; 3) ask permission and ask the questions politely; 4) write down or record the answers; 5) thank them at the end. — Interviewing is asking questions to get to know another person's job better, just like a reporter does.

6. Make a collection of at least 10 articles or news stories that are connected with religion.

   Answer: With an adult: 1) look in magazines, newspapers, or on the internet for 10 news stories or texts that talk about faith, church, or God; 2) cut out or print each one; 3) glue them in a notebook or folder; 4) write below each one where it came from; 5) keep everything organized to show. — Gathering similar news stories into a collection helps you learn and keep good things about faith.
