✍️ Planning:

- Choose a topic you know about or want to research.

- Brainstorm key facts, questions, or headings.

- Group similar ideas together into sections.

📝 Writing Structure:

- Start with a clear title.

- Write an introduction that explains what the topic is about.

- Use paragraphs or headings to organise each section.

- Include interesting facts and details.

- Add examples or explanations to help the reader understand.

🔤 Language Features:

- Use present tense (e.g. "Dogs bark" not "Dogs barked").

- Use topic-specific vocabulary (e.g. "habitat", "pollination").

- Include facts, not opinions (unless you’re writing a conclusion or reflection).

- Use linking words (e.g. "also", "because", "for example").

🎨 Extras:

- Add labelled diagrams or pictures if helpful.

- Include bullet points or fact boxes to highlight information.

✔️ Editing and Checking:

- Does your writing match the topic?

- Have you used capital letters and punctuation correctly?

- Did you check your spelling?

- Can someone else read it and learn something new?
