Learning Intention: We are learning to sequence information to engage our audience.
Success Criteria:
I have chosen the order of my facts for my informative text.
Tuning In: Watch the video of Mr Heard introducing the lesson and modelling the activity for today.
Activity: Now that you have lots of information to share about your planet it is time to start thinking about how you will present your information in an engaging way for your audience.
To help us organise our thinking and plan for success we are going to complete an Informative Writing Graph. We have lots of experience completing a story graph for our narrative writing, but this might be the first time you have used and Informative Writing Graph. If you haven’t watched the introduction video for today now is a good time to watch Mr Heard show you how to fill out the graph.
The way that we organise our facts is important as our aim is to engage our audience so that they want to keep reading. To complete our Informative writing graph you will need to decide the order that you will present your facts to keep your audience engaged. You will need to include an Introduction with a sizzling start, 3 fact sections and a conclusion to end with impact.
Below is an example of how you can draw up the graph in your Writer's Notebook.
Extra challenge: If you finish early you might like to continue researching for interesting information for your writing piece.

Make any changes to your order if some of your predictions weren’t quite correct and draw your objects with their weight written in numbers underneath.
