1st February
Let's recap your understanding from last week. What is the difference between a fiction and non-fiction text? What is a sub-heading? What is a title? What is a caption? How did you research your facts? Take a look at your animal fact file from last week and see how many features of a non-fiction text you can identify.
Today, we're going to look at how to make a leaflet using non-fiction features.
Can you choose some animals from the list below and research their habitats, features, food etc.?
