Big Question: How have phones changed over time?

Research	Little research has been collated. The big question has not been answered.	Some research has been used and in their own words. Driving questions have been answered.	Great amounts of research has been collated and written into their own words, to support ideas and add value.
Presentation	Little effort has been put into how things are arranged.	Ideas are organised and it looks good.	Eye-grabbing. Ideas are organised clearly and supported by images/digitally. WOW factor

Comments:

Great reading with expression and some interesting facts. Well done for ignoring the background noise and just getting on with the task. An awesome second part of your IP with interesting sounds and transitions. The quiz was an great way to find out if Koru 2 were listening and what they learnt through your presentation. Feedback from Koru 2 Children Liked how you persevered in the library with all the noise It was great that you read on without worrying about the mistakes Great quiz at the end really got us thinking
