This is a quest designed for 3H/V which you may use as a part of your Language Portfolio. It is useful and interesting material for 4V, too!
Working with WASP Reporter
Wasp what?
In HVX High, we will be using a magazine called Wasp Reporter to learn English with. We won't be using Holmwood's anymore. This magazine contains various articles and assignments that go with them.
You will receive two Wasp Reporters at the beginning of the year: The Exam Issue (which we will work with throughout the year) and volume 20.1, which we will work with until November.
Each Wasp Reporter has a magazine (with articles) and a Student File (with assignments / vocabulary).
How do I get one?
If you have finished your placement test (see START HERE above), you can sign up for an English BloX and get a copy of your Wasp Reporter from Mrs Wams.
What should I do with it?
Try to do at least two to three articles (incl all the assignments!) per term. Your work planner will give you an indication of the articles that would suit your year/level best, but feel free to substitute them for different articles if you think they are more interesting. You can work on these assignments during the English BloX or organise your own time.

Wasp Reporter also has an online platform where you can find additional articles, project ideas, materials etc; information about this platform and how to access it will follow soon
