Non Chronological Reports

In Literacy we have been learning how to write non chronological reports. These are reports that are not in order of time. You would not use these when you write a biography or if you are writing reports where time doesn’t matter. We used this to write a report on bugs.

To write this effectively we need to –

• Use present tense verbs
• Use technical words
• Use titles and captions
• Have an introduction
• Include facts and figures
• Use topic specific words
• Use connectives

In everyday life we could use this skill when writing an essay in university or college. If we were making an information leaflet this skill would be useful.
