Students will develop skills in identify topics, paraphrasing the information read, classifying information, using the features of a text to make meaning and making comparisons between different text types. During writing lessons, the Grade 6s will be using their research and paraphrasing skills to write Information Reports about different topics, including natural disasters and countries around the world.
