Introduction
We are learning about creating non-fiction texts and natural features of Australia.
Working in small groups you will choose a place within Austrlaia to collect research on and present in the from of a poster.
Task
You will need to read a vareity of non fiction texts about your chosen place and carefully record the key words. You wil then turn the key words into your own paragraphs.
Once you have collected all the information you are going to write your own non fiction text.
You will write under the following headings
- Intorduction
- Climate
- Special Features
- Aboriginal History
- Map
Mrs Grocke will give you a research sheet for you to carefully record all of your key words.
