Description

In this unit, pupils research the life and death of King Tut to write a non-chronological report. Pupils focus on using a range of fronted adverbials and subject-specific vocabulary to present facts about King Tut in a clearly-structured report. Pupils peer edit and present their reports at the end.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of non-chronological report writing from the Year 3 unit, 'The Portia Spider: non-chronological report'. Pupils write using the structure of an introduction, themed sections and conclusion; they also write using a range of formal and viewpoint fronted adverbials and subject-specific vocabulary to ensure their writing flows cohesively. Pupils use subheadings to clearly signal each section. This unit prepares pupils for further non-chronological report writing in the Year 3 unit, 'The Stone Age: non-chronological report'.
