A Set of Information Report Posters for Your Classroom

When teaching a new text type to your students, it is important to reinforce the purpose, structural elements and language features in as many different ways as possible.

This set of 5 informative writing posters has been designed by our passionate teacher team to remind you students of the key features of information reports. These posters provide a simple and clear reference for your students to use at any time during your informative writing unit. The posters cover the following content:

• Poster 1 – What Is Informative Writing?
• Poster 2 – Structure of Informative Writing
• Poster 3 – Features of Informative Texts
• Poster 4 – Researching Facts
• Poster 5 – Informative Writing Checklist 

This resource is available as a full-colour PDF. If you have limited colour printing available at your school, we recommend printing in greyscale on coloured paper. You may even wish to enlarge the posters so that they really pop when placed on your classroom bulletin board!
