a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text

Planning to write a section about hedgehogs in a non-chronological report

English

In this unit, pupils have learned how to use fronted adverbials of time in sentences within a non-chronological report. In 'School Trip: Recount', pupils will build on this by using the skill within a different text type, a recount. 

In 'Atinuke and other authors: Information Text', pupils learned how to group information into relevant paragraphs to make it easier for the reader to navigate. In this unit, pupils will build on that skill by applying it to a different form on non-fiction writing, a non-chronological report.
