REPORT WRITING

report

 

Over the last two weeks Room 6 have been working super hard on creating informational reports on endangered species. They have also been looking at WHY these species are endangered and WHAT has been/ can be done to help rescue these species and bring them back from the brink.

When writing these reports the kids were asked to consider the following things:

  • classify the animal they were reporting on.
  • habitat
  • diet
  • behaviours
  • description
  • things that are “unique” about this animal
  • anything else that they consider would be of interest to a reader

When looking at the structure they had to think about:

  • paragraphing
  • topic sentences
  • scientific language
  • using the present tense
  • specific detail that brings clarity.
  • varying our sentence starters.

The reports will be on the student blogs over the next couple of days. If their drafts are anything to go on, you will be amazed by the results.
