Informative Writing Rotation
Station 1: Read and Notice
Read this short informative text. Life on a New Zealand rocky shore A rocky shore is a place where the land meets the sea. When the tide goes out, pools of seawater are left among the rocks. These pools are called rock pools. Rock-pool animals have ways to cope with changing conditions. A small shore crab can hide under stones, while a sea anemone can close its tentacles when the water level falls. Limpets cling tightly to rocks so waves are less likely to sweep them away. Rock pools are busy habitats, but they are delicate. Turning over a stone can disturb animals sheltering underneath. If you explore a shore, watch carefully and leave rocks where you found them.
Station 1: Text Detective
Use evidence from the passage to answer each question.
- To explain what a rocky shore is and how some animals live there
- To tell an exciting story about a crab
- To persuade readers to collect rock-pool animals
- As a result
- For example
- Meanwhile
Station 2: Plan Your Information
Choose a topic you can explain using accurate facts. It could be a New Zealand animal, a plant, a place, a sport or how something works. Make quick notes, not full sentences.
What is it, or what is it like? Add a useful detail.
Where is it found, or where does it happen?
What does it do, need, eat or how does it work?
What specialist word could help explain your topic? Write the word and what it means.
Station 3: Build Your Informative Text
Use your plan to write a short informative text. Include a clear title, an opening that introduces the topic, at least three facts, linking words and a final sentence. Keep each idea clear for your reader.
Station 4: Edit and Reflect
Read your draft aloud quietly. Improve it so a reader can understand your information easily.
