Writing an Information Report

Now that we’ve done so much research on Possums and we’ve created powerpoint slides using sentences we made from our dot points on the X-chart, it’s time to put it all together in writing.  You will be writing an information report on possums today.

This video give you some tips.

Ideas can be found at this link LITERACY IDEAS.

Here is an example of an information report by a Year 3 student:

Your paragraphs will be just like your PBE and X-CHART HEADINGS:

  • INTRODUCTION (INCLUDES CLASSIFICATION)
  • DESCRIPTION
  • LOCATION
  • DYNAMICS (BEHAVIOUR)
  • CONCLUSION (SUMMARY STATEMENT)

Remember to look closely at your RUBRIC when you write your Report.

 

POSSUM FACTS – Using your PBE charts

This week is POSSUM WEEK where we will be learning all about the characteristics of possums.

Today you will be finding out about possums.  You will be using a PBE chart (P- Physical, B – Behavioural and E-Environmental). Click on this link to find facts about possums.  You will be cutting and pasting information today.

Later you will use this information as well as the dot points you have put into your X-Charts (when you worked with the teacher), to create your powerpoint slides with a partner.

KIDCYBER POSSUM WEBSITE

Download this word document for your T-Chart.

Possum T-Chart

You will need to highlight keywords and facts to copy then paste into your T-Chart.  Do the same thing with your 3 photos of possums.

You need to say where you found your information too.  I am sure that Grandma Poss and Hush will be very interested to see what you find out…

POSSUM POWERPOINTS – WOW!

You worked so well with your partners to create these fabulous possum powerpoints.  They show the characteristics of possums very clearly.  Enjoy your flipbooks I made from your powerpoints.  Well done, everybody!!  🙂
