So far the students have been...
- Writing to tell someone the facts about something
- Writing the title at the top
- Writing what the thing is...e.g. A snake is an animal
- Describing the thing- what it looks like and what it does....e.g. A bus is like a car but bigger.
- Writing a sentence about the author's viewpoint on the thing....e.g. Fireworks are dangerous for children and only adults use them.
