Lesson details
Key learning points
- Publishing our work is the final stage of the writing process where we prepare our writing ready for an audience to see.
- 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.
Keywords
Publishing - the process of producing written content available for an audience
Audience - the person who reads our work
Layout - the way the information is organised on the page

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.
