English

LO: To organise information for a non-chronological report

Tips:

  • If you can print the fact sheet and sorting sheet, you will find this helpful;
  • If you can't print, then you could use the Word document to move the sentences around;
  • Or, you could write the sentences on paper, or write just the numbers in the correct group.

 

The Activity:

  1. Read the facts about Dickens on this document.

 

  2. The facts are not grouped correctly.  Put the facts into the correct groups   

       using the headings on the sheet.

3.  If you have some important information that you think I have missed out, add       them to your groups of facts.

 

4.  The answers to the grouping activity will be on tomorrow's page.
