      The Space Age Bag - Sally Jones

      examinations.

      First things first...

      Let’s learn to write non-fiction.

      When you write non-fiction, you may write:

      a newspaper report

      an information leaflet

      instructions

      a diary entry.

      You must decide:

      Who will be my target audience?

      Who will read this writing?

      What is the purpose of my writing?

      The form might be: an information leaflet

      The audience might be: older primary school children (9-11 years)

      The purpose might be: to inform them about some facts

      Plan your non-fiction writing:

      PARAGRAPH 1

      Introduce the reader to your topic.

      Give some facts about your chosen subject.

      PARAGRAPH 2, 3, 4...

      Write down the points you want to make in chronological order.

      Back them up with evidence.

      Remember:

      Use connectives or conjunctions:

      and or but (to join compound sentences)

      or, so, if, when, while, after, before, because, unless, until, whereas, although (to join complex sentences)

      use pronouns - who, which, whose, what, that

      to link ideas use - firstly, later, therefore, on the other hand, at that moment, by this time, next, soon...

      Use a range of sentences – simple, compound and complex sentences

      Conclusion

      Draw all your ideas together in a conclusion.

      Make personal comments
