 On
February 21, a welcoming ceremony for the
5th Kids Reporters was held at Seoul Youth Hostel in Namsan. This
year, nearly 100 children from
all across the nation were
chosen as Kids Reporters, beating hundreds of other
applicants. After the welcoming
ceremony, about 40 Kids Reporters participated in a 3-day camp.
Our proud 5th Kids Reporters
looked very excited. Each one of them received a reporter’s ID from
The Kids Times CEO Lee Jung-sik. They promised to do their best
as Kids Reporters and write good articles for The Kids Times.
 At
around 6 o’clock the camp started. At first, they felt awkward, but while enjoying
dinner and fun ice-breaking games together,
they became close friends. After having a lot of fun together, the
Kids Reporters took a special lecture on success and vision. Kim Ji-yoon, a lecturer
from the Hunet Junior Success School (junior.hunet.co.kr), told them
the importance of having a vision.
On the second day of the
camp, the Kids Reporters learned how to write articles in English
from the chief editor Julia Baik.
She explained the Kids Reporters
the important steps to write an article - from picking a topic to organizing the contents.
 Then, they
started making newspapers of their own as groups. A group was made
up of five to six children. Each group chose a topic and worked together
as a team. The Kids Reporters discussed many things with
their group members from making a title to finding pictures for their
articles. While working with their team members, they learned how
to cooperate with others.
After making newspapers, they had a chance to make a presentation about
their articles. They worked as groups for the presentation, too. They
made slides, using PowerPoint and practiced to deliver their messages effectively in front of everyone.
It wasn’t easy to make a presentation in English. Most of them felt
very nervous and even forgot what they had to say.
However, with other team members’ help, everyone managed to deliver
their messages and the 3-day camp ended successfully.
Everyone did a great job! We are very proud of you, Kids Reporters! |
