Keywords

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

  • General information - the most basic and necessary information

  • Purpose - the aim of the text

  • Cohesive devices - language structures that develop text cohesion

Common misconception

Pupils want to add additional information about aye-ayes' diets or adaptations to the conclusion.

Information in the conclusion must be kept general and must summarise the rest of the report.

Pupils can write notes for a sentence in the future tense for how to best protect aye-ayes going forwards.
