Bailey Gwynne
This is how BBC News represented the story:
A teenage boy has appeared in court for a second time charged with murdering 16-year-old Bailey Gwynne, who was stabbed at his Aberdeen school.
Bailey died after the incident at Cults Academy on 28 October. The 16-year-old accused - who cannot be named for legal reasons - appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. The boy is also charged with having a blade or point on school premises. He made no plea, was fully committed and remanded in custody. Special assemblies were held on Monday as pupils returned to classes for the first time since the incident. Bailey's family issued a message of thanks for the support they have received.
Here are some pictures below that were shown in the news report that followed his death:
My opinion on the news article:
It is absolutely awful that this has happened and the fact this teenager has been taken to court for the second time, I think, shows that he most probably is guilty. The face that he was carrying a blade on school premises makes me question the safety of some schools and they need to ensure that every pupil is completely safe on school property because that is one of their roles as an institution. BBC news represented this story well however possibly they lacked some detailed information so audiences may not know enough about the story as they probably should.
I think you showed a really good overview of the report, and put it across really clearly to your reader. It's also important that you included the fact that it not only reflects directly on this incident, but on school safety in general. This shows that you have a good understanding of issues such as this in our society.
