Completing our non-fiction writing...


Wednesday is our deadline for completing our writing piece in best! On wednesday I will be collecting each students writing and on Thursday we will be having a publishing party!

We have learnt so many strategies for non-fiction writing...


  • Writers include diagrams, labels and charts to help the reader understand.

  • Writers include 'extras' in their books, like fun fact pages, 'how to' pages etc

  • Writers plan the layout of their book and how much text and illustration they will have on each page.

  • Writers make their book 'reader friendly' and easy to understand for their reader.

  • Writers write with 'voice' to make their books more interesting.

  • Writers use punctuation purposefully to make their writing more exciting to read.

  • Writers include dedications and acknowledgements to thank and recognize people that made the subject they wrote about meaningful to them.

It's very exciting to see how every student has applied these strategies to their own writing piece!!!
