Description

In this unit, pupils research the diet, housing and artefacts of people in the Stone Age to write a non-chronological report. Pupils focus on using a range of fronted adverbials, subject-specific vocabulary and facts to write a clearly-structured full report. Pupils publish their reports at the end.

This unit uses and builds pupils' knowledge of non-chronological report writing from the Year 3 unit 'Healthy lifestyle or King Tut: non-chronological report'. Pupils write using the paragraphing 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 also use subheadings to clearly signal each section. This unit prepares pupils for further non-chronological report writing in the Year 4 unit 'Anglerfish: non-chronological report'.
