Lesson details
Key learning points
- Visuals and captions make information easier to understand and remember for the reader.
- The layout of a text helps to organise information logically, allowing the reader to navigate through a report easily.
- It is important to use neat, joined handwriting when publishing a non-chronological report.
- A published non-chronological report should be visually and linguistically appealing to the reader.
Keywords
Visual aid - graph, chart, image or diagram that enhances understanding in non-fiction texts
Caption - a brief description accompanying an image that gives extra context
Layout - the way information is organised on the page
Common misconception
Captions shouldn't just reiterate what's obvious in the visual.
Captions should complement diagrams by explaining the visual, highlighting key points and giving any additional facts.
Model how to draw the key features of an anglerfish and how they have adapted these features to survive in their environment.
