Colourful powerpoints you can show and add material to. sample To use skimming and scanning skills to read information texts and identify the main features in structure and language. I can identify the features of an information text. I can create subheadings for my information text. I can choose relevant information for my note taking. Starter: Go over what skimming and scanning skills are with the class. What is the difference between fiction and non-fiction texts? Think of as many features as you can. Introduction: Explain that by the end of the week we will be making some informative leaflets, however, we must first research what we would like to include within our leaflets. What is an information text? What does it do? Look at the leaflets on your tables. Create a checklist as a table. Introduction (what is the text about?) Each paragraph is a main idea. Sub headings Questions to make the reader think Use formal and impersonal language. Talk about ‘people’ and ‘they’. Try not to use personal pronouns, such as I or me. Stick to the facts Some descriptive phrases Conclusion to sum up. Diagrams Technical vocabulary Text boxes Present tense Third person This will be used later on to inform them of their own structure and design for their leaflet.
