 * __INFORMATION REPORT STRUCTURE:__**

Read the **INFORMATION REPORT** on **BANANAS** we have been studying over the past three (3) weeks in our Literacy Groups. This will help you respond to the seven (7) sentences below. This will allow you to organise the structure of **YOUR OWN INFORMATION REPORT** you will be completing over the next few weeks. This will be based on something **YOU CHOOSE** to report on!.

Last week, we gathered factual information about apples, peaches, apricots and grapes. This week we are going to place this information in relevant topic sentences. When these sentences are read in order, they will formulate our "group information report". We used Children's Encarta as well as useful websites selected from Google.

You may like to get a "head start" on this task and go onto the website I have placed on my "Useful Websites for Year Four" page. Go to: [] This website allows you to click on the particular writing text you are working with (in this instance you would select "information report". Go to number 4 (which shows you how to write an Information Text at Grade Four level)

Please write at least **ONE-TWO SENTENCES** about your fruit under the following headings:

1. Write a **general statement** about your fruit.. 2. Write some information on the **background and history** of your fruit. 3. Write about **what your fruit** **looks like**. 4. Write about **where it grows** in the world. 5. Write about **how it grows** (on a tree, in the ground, on a vine etc) 6. Write about its **special features or special things it can be used for**. 7. List the **resources/references you used** to **gather your information** on your fruit.
