Common misconception
Pupils think they need to use new ideas when publishing their non-chronological report.
Pupils should use the sections they have written in previous lessons that have been planned, drafted and edited.
Model how to draw Skara Brae under a visualiser or on an interactive white board. You could use a lesson in your Art timetable to ensure that pupils have the correct materials to ensure success.
