Information Texts

Information texts 

In literacy we have been inventing our own dragons and describing them. We focused on the Elm-Ridge Back and the Thunder Dragon.

The Elm Ridge-back a rare form of dragon, which is seen across the town of Accrington.


When we were planning our dragon we had different categories such as: 
Definition, what is it called
Description, what it looks like
Location/habitat where it is found
What it is best known for
A final point or amazing fact/issue.

After we finished our plan we extended it using interesting vocabulary to describe the dragon very well. Words that we liked to describe the Elm-Ridge Back included:
Rare
Tinge
Tamed
Mysterious
Beautiful
  
Other words in the information text included:
Identify
Enables
Concerned
Disastrous

Words that we liked to describe The Thunder Dragon
Lucky
Brilliant
Terrifying
Much Feared
Thunderous
Unusual
Misunderstood

Other words in the information texts:
Recognise
Renowned

Examples of excellent work from our information writing:

  1. Mrs. K's 2nd grade class really liked the dragon stories. Class Elm students added a lot of detail which helped create a picture of the dragon in our minds.
