TASK 3 – RESEARCH FOR NON-CHRONOLOGICAL REPORT

Before we finished school , we were learning about the features of non-chronological reports and discussed that when the schools are closed I would like you all to work on creating your own report.

Before the holidays you were asked to decide on a topic for your report,  please can you continue to gather some research, take notes and create a spider diagram as we have done in class. Remember each part of the diagram can be used for a sub-heading in your report.

If you have completed your spider diagram you can begin to write your report. In your Home Learning Pack you will find an example of a report (Crocodiles and Alligators) and a Non-Chronological Report Features Checklist. You can write your report in a similar format to the example or you can create your own: you can write it,  type it, use Powerpoint, it is up to you! Also remember to check the Features Checklist to ensure you have included everything.

Here are some of the videos we watched in class to refresh your memory:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs7iGTA_Fcw
