We have been looking at exemplars and working out what they important features are of each text type. We have created class checklists to use when we write using these genres and have started writing examples.
The students have selected a question that interests them. They have been researching the answer to their question and have started to organize their answer using an Explanation format.
We will use the same format when explaining energy forms and will create models or demonstrate using simple experiments.
