Lesson details
Key learning points
- An information page needs to be easy to read and understand.
- An information page needs a title such as 'How to look after cats'.
- An information page needs to include subject-specific vocabulary such as 'shelter' or 'healthy'.
- When listing what a cat needs, a comma must be placed between each noun.
- 'Fun Facts' or 'Did you know?' questions can be added to make the writing more interesting.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to present their information independently.
Create page layouts with boxes and lines for the children to use in order for presentation and handwriting to stay at their expected level. This may mean their reports go across multiple pages or use larger paper.
