Lesson Plan Summary:

This resource explores the informative aspects of non-fiction texts. Students explore elements such as content-specific vocabulary, classifying information, and report writing. The Wolf Presentation is well illustrated, allowing visual learners to connect and engage in the content.

Australian Curriculum Links:

• Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning about key events, ideas and information in texts that they listen to, view and read by drawing on growing knowledge of context, text structures and language features (ACELY1660).
• Describe some differences between imaginative informative and persuasive texts (ACELY1658)
• Develop and explore informative texts that show emerging use of appropriate text structure, sentence-level grammar, word choice, spelling, punctuation and appropriate multimodal elements, for example illustrations and diagrams (ACELY1661)
