Learning task 3
Writing a report
The students can use information gathered from a number of sources. Scaffold the learning for the students.
- Read a simple report:
- Goldfish are small and orange. They have gills, fins and tails. Goldfish swim around and eat fish food. They do not live in the sea, they live in fishbowls.
- Construct a report on a different animal on the board with the students.
- Develop a writing frame for the students who need it.
- Students work in pairs using the report on the board as a guide to write about the animal, using their facts gathered earlier and their pictures.
- Each pair reads their report to another pair and explains where they got their information from.
- Students repeat this on their own, using the animal information they recorded previously to draw and then write a report.
Oral report
The students show and talk about their drawings from their individual report, making sure they talk about appearance, behaviour, food and habitat and where the information came from.
