Develop understanding of how non-chronological reports are structured using the resources provided which can be used instantly by pupils. These resources can be used to support teaching and learning during an English unit focusing on non-chronological reports and to share the features needed for this style of writing.
The posters can be used to teach how these text types are structured and the grammar, vocabulary and punctuation typically used. They can be used to identify the features in model texts that are shared.
Planning sheets are included to support pupils when noting and organising their ideas before writing. Space to add subheadings is included. These could be added by an adult before photocopying or pupils could choose and add their own subheadings if appropriate.
What is included in this resource?
