- Watch the video, stopping and starting when asked.
- Answer the questions when asked.
- Use the answer sheet to mark your work.
- Have a go and the True or False to see if you can apply your knowledge.

LO: To collect information for a non-chronological report about Charles Dickens
Today we are going to collect information for writing 'non-chronological' reports about Charles Dickens. So far we have focused on 'chronological' information, by putting events in time order, but we are going to be writing about Dickens in 'not' time order. This is what 'non-chronological' means.
Instead, we will group similar information about him 'together', no matter when it happened. We might put all the information about his jobs together in one paragraph, or all the information about his books in another. We might also include one paragraph about books that have been made into films, or another about his work to support poor people. There are many different 'topics' that we could cover in different paragraphs about Charles Dickens.
Today, you will be researching and noting all the information that you can find about Charles Dickens.
Read the information and the task is given at the end.
Now, decide on what information you want to research. There are examples of sheets below which could help you, or you could decide on your own topics for each paragraph, such as:
- Who is Charles Dickens?
- Where is he from and who are his family?
- What is Charles Dickens known for?
- How did Charles use writing to help other people?
- What are some of his most famous works?
- Why is Charles Dickens important to society today?
- Why is Dickens an influential person? (You could link this with your RE work.)
Here are some documents you can use to collect research on, or use as a guide to write on paper.
Here are lots of documents, videos and links where you could find information to help with your research.
