Non-Chronological Report- Writing our own.

This is a follow on lesson from:Non-Chronological Reports: Understanding the features.

Children cannot and should not be writing their own report without first of all familiarising themselves with the text type. Having completed that step, they can then begin to think about planning their very own report.
This resource includes:
*4 day detailed lesson plan with a step-by-step guide on how to deliver these lessons.
*Report adaption sheet for drawing their new idea to change.
*Pictures to caption- this confirms children’s ability to order the report.
*‘Who murdered King Tut’ text for reference.
*Comprehension on the text used to ensure understanding.
*Success Criteria for children to self and peer assess their report writing.
*Drama ideas: such as text tennis, hot seating etc.
The idea behind this week of teaching is that children are reciting/acting out the text each day, confirming their understanding of the report structure/sentence structure orally. Once children can do this, they will be able to write their very own version. They are encouraged this week to change one part of the report in order to write their very own version. For example: instead of ‘Who killed King Tut?’, it could be ‘Who killed King Thor the Viking’ children will have to adapt the report they know so well to make it their own. Now that they have a basis to go off, their report will be much more successful.
