3. Reading or Story-telling technique Reading and story-telling parts of a report have certain aims to achieve. Reading a passage or two allows the class to focus its attention on particular point or points. It also makes learning less cumbersome since it does take a bit of information and not a big chunk of knowledge. Story-telling activity has an apperceptive basis since pupils are able to bring into the consciousness of the whole class their very own experiences. There are also psychological dimensions involved here that is, in terms of arousing interests among themselves and of providing opportunities for self-expression.
4. Schematic Technique This is the type of reporting which considerable makes use of hardwares of instructions. Although this mode of reporting is ordinarily done by an invited resource speaker and by the teacher; several students; could be taught to conduct reporting using modern media or communication like phonograph records, film-showing, tapes, slides, etc. These products of instructional technology should be used as means rather than the end of teaching. This simply means that they could not be asked to just view a film and when it is over, the class is automatically dismissed. The film-showing is nothing unless it is properly explained and evaluated by the reporter himself. Thus, audio-visual devices should serve several purposes during the reporting like: a. making an interesting vivid and well-done illustration of an idea; b. substantiating points shared; c. sustaining the interest of the audience in the report; and d. ensuring permanency in learning.
