This term we are learning about 'Non-Chronological Report Writing', linked to our topic Cadle, our Community and our World.
The features of a non-chronological report include the following:
- An eye-catching heading in a large font
- An introductory paragraph
- Text split up into paragraphs and each paragraph on a different aspect of the subject
- Sub-headings for each paragraph
- Usually written in present tense
- Pictures of the subject
- Captions under each picture to explain what is in the picture
- Diagrams with labels
- Lists of facts in bullet points
- Graphs or charts showing information about the subject
- Boxes containing interesting individual facts to grab the attention of the reader
- Technical vocabulary in bold, possibly with a glossary at the end
