Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. The conclusion is the final paragraph of a non-chronological report.
  2. The purpose of the conclusion is to summarise the key information of the report.
  3. Only general information is included in the conclusion.
  4. Success criteria can be used to help a writer understand what to include in their writing to make it successful.

Common misconception

Pupils may find it difficult to take plans written in note form and construct sentences.

Lesson gives the opportunity to explicitly model the thinking process when turning notes into full sentences.

Keywords

  • Conclusion - the closing paragraph of a non-fiction text

  • General information - the most basic and necessary information

  • Purpose - the aim of the text

  • Summarise - to sum up or conclude the main body of a text

Regularly refer back to the success criteria and ensure that pupils self-assess after they have written each sentence.
