EYE WITNESS REPORT SITUATIONAL COMPOSITION ILE PERSEVERANCE SECONDARY ENG DEPT
SITUATIONAL COMPOSITION. EYE WITNESS REPORT An eye witness report is a short composition based on a specific incident/accident that took place and was witnessed first-hand by someone. An accident is an unexpected event that may result in property damage and an injury or illness e.g. a car crash, earthquake, bomb blast. An incident is an unexpected event that may result to property damage but does not result to death or illness. Examples are; bank robbery, argument in class, mistaken identity, shop lifting etc. The report must be clear and precise. It should not contain any irrelevant information. State facts but well detailed. It should be brief. It should be around 200 words. The report has to be written in the 1stperson point of view and in Past tense.
It should answer the following questions; What happened? When and where it happened (date, day, month, year, time)? Where and when the incident happened? Who was/were involved? How did it start and develop? How did it end? Were there any casualties or damages? Who was/were to blame and why?

EXAMPLE A ROBBERY AT MY HOUSE On Saturday 11thAugust 2020, my friend Mary and I were returning home from an outing at a discotheque when I saw two men jump out of my bedroom window and ran off into the night. The incident happened around 1 in the night. I couldn t see the men clearly due to the dim outdoor bulbs placed around the house. The two men were dressed in black. They had black jeans, a T-shirt and leather jackets with the initials 2 pac on the back. They also had caterpillar boots and wore black scarves on their heads. One of them had a nose ring. They got into the house through the back door. They broke the door handle to get inside the house. Apparently when they heard us coming towards the house, they opened the window and jumped out to escape. They took a TV flat screen, laptop, two thousand rupees and my newly acquired Nike Boots and gold chain. Fortunately no one got injured during the incident. I called the police immediately to inform them about the incident. After about half an hour, the police and the CID arrived and combed the house for any finger prints and evidence to help trace the identities of the culprits. They also recorded a statement.
