Today we will be learning to: research information about an animal.

This week we will be learning to write our own information text. First we need to do some research to find lots of information to put into our writing. It is important that we organize our research so that we don’t end up with too much information that we don’t understand. I have done some research about sea turtles:

I used a table with headings to organize my writing.

The places where we get information are called
sources. They could be websites, videos, books or even members of my family. I wrote down the name of each source and the information I got from each one.

I also chose to research 4 things: ‘What do they look like?’ What is their habitat like?’ ‘What do they eat?’ and ‘Interesting facts’ This will help me decide which information to choose so I don’t end up with far more than I need.

I wrote short notes instead of copying out large parts of the book.

Task:
Copy this table onto a piece of paper:

Now choose an animal to research. Fill in the table with notes about what you find out. Here are some websites you could use to find out about your animal.

https://www.youngvetsclub.com/weird-and-wonderful-facts
https://www.ducksters.com/animals.php
https://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/animals.html

 

Please make sure an adult is supervising you when you are doing research on the internet!

You could also use books you have at home or a member of your family may know lots about your animal. You may already know lots of facts yourself!

You will need this work to complete tomorrow’s lesson so it is very important that you do it. Let me know if you have any difficulties.
