She takes you through the process from start to finish; identifying the key features of non-chronological writing and emphasising the importance of researching, drafting and proof-reading in her job as a sports journalist. She also explains how important it is to engage the reader by using appropriate vocabulary. Keywords and examples are presented on the screen to support pupils writing in this genre. This clip is from the BBC series The Facts about Non-Fiction. This series helps you make your non-fiction writing the best it can be with the help of some well-known faces.

KS2: Watch the clip together and ask the pupils to consider the following questions: What is needed to write a good non-chronological report? What features are required? Can you remember any technical language to describe the features? When writing a non-chronological report, what format should it take? As a group come up with a list of the criteria required to write a successful non-chronological report. Students could then write their own. These could either be related to aspects of the curriculum – science, geography, history; or pupils could write reports which express their own interests. KS3: As above, plus before watching, discuss the importance of proof-reading. How do we ensure that we have proof-read for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors? Does reading aloud help you to proof-read? These clips will be relevant for teaching English at KS1, KS2 and KS3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 1st, 2nd and 3rd Level in Scotland. ===================== For more clips from other subjects at the BBC Teach YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/bbcteach More from BBC Learning Zone: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone More resources from BBC Bitesize: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education ===================== Look out for more clips released every day on BBC Teach: Mondays: Biology, Computer Science, Music, Religious Studies Tuesdays: Drama and Performance, English Language, Maths, Physical Education Wednesdays: Languages, Media Studies, Modern Studies and PSHE, Physics Thursdays: Art and Design, Chemistry, Geography, History Fridays: Business Studies, Design and Technology, English Literature, Early Years
