Friday:

Use the examples of non-chronological reports from Monday’s lesson to write your own report about your researched animal.

Remember to think of a catchy title and suitable sub headings for each paragraph. Your facts should go under the appropriate sub headings so the information can be easily found by the reader.

Can you include a picture? (from the internet or drawn)

I have provided a blank template for you to use if you would like. Or you can lay your report out how you would like.
