Information Report Examples for Exploring Sequence

One of the key features of information reports is paragraphs consisting of like facts that have been grouped together.

This set of three information report examples with accompanying cut-and-paste worksheets has been designed by our experienced teacher team to help your students learn more about paragraphs in informative texts. Students are required to:

• Read the information report.
• Cut out the sentences provided (taken from the text).
• Read each sentence and work out where it belongs in the text. 
• Paste the sentences in the correct row of the table provided.

This pack of information report examples contains the following texts:

• Thunderstorms
• Tyrannosaurus Rex
• Roald Dahl

Lesson Ideas for These Information Report Examples

Looking for some ideas about how you might use these information report examples with your students? One suggestion from our teacher team is to use all three texts in the resource: one for a modelled, whole-class activity, one for a small-group or pair activity and one for independent practice. This means that the amount of support is gradually withdrawn as the students become more confident with the process of sequencing the examples. 

As an extension activity, you could challenge more confident students by asking them to write subheadings for each paragraph in one of the texts. Alternatively, students could research one of the topics and then add additional sentences to each paragraph.

The informative writing sequencing worksheets are available as either an easy-print PDF or an editable Google Slides version. Use the Download button to access your preferred file format.

As the resource pack contains answer sheets throughout, we suggest printing one copy, then removing the answer sheets before making copies for your students.
