- Published work should be written in clear, joined handwriting with letters that start on the line.
- A published non-chronological report will usually include a picture or diagram.
- We indent each new paragraph and underline subheadings with a ruler and we follow any appropriate layout conventions.

Common misconception
Pupils may have negative attitudes towards publishing their work.
Publishing becomes highly motivating when there is a real audience for the work - for instance, you could copy the reports and illustrations and gather them into a presentation book that can be taken home by each child in turn.
