Choose the graphic organiser that best meets the needs of your lesson and your class, or provide different graphic organisers to different groups of learners based on their ability.

Suggested Uses for These Information Report Templates

This resource may be simple, but it has multiple applications when it comes to teaching informative writing to your students! Here are just a few ways these multi-purpose worksheets can be used by your students:

Note-Taking – When researching facts for an information report, students can use the graphic organisers to record dot-point notes for each section of the text.
Planning – Students can use one of the graphic organisers to plan out the information they intend to include in their report.
Drafting – For students who require support, these graphic organisers make a great scaffolding tool when it comes time to write a draft.
Publishing – These graphic organisers can also be used as a publishing tool with students writing their final text in the spaces provided.
