Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking the children what they know about information texts. Explain that information texts are non-fiction texts that provide information about a particular topic. They can be found in books, magazines, newspapers, and online. Tell the children that they will be learning about the features of information texts and how to write their own.

Lesson Outline: 1. Discuss the features of information texts, such as headings, subheadings, diagrams, and captions. 2. Show examples of information texts and ask the children to identify the features. 3. Provide the children with a template for an information text and ask them to fill it in with information about a topic of their choice. 4. Allow time for the children to research their topic and gather information. 5. Once the children have completed their information texts, ask them to share them with the class.

Questioning: 1. What are some features of information texts? 2. Can you give an example of an information text? 3. What is the purpose of an information text? 4. How can we use information texts in our everyday lives?

Assessment: Assess the children’s understanding of information texts by reviewing their completed templates. Look for evidence of headings, subheadings, diagrams, and captions. Provide feedback to the children on their work and offer suggestions for improvement.

Differentiation: For children who may struggle with writing, provide them with a pre-written information text and ask them to identify the features. For children who may need a challenge, ask them to research a more complex topic and include more detailed information in their information text.

Plenary: Ask the children to share their completed information texts with the class. Encourage them to explain the features they included and why they chose their topic. Discuss as a class how information texts can be useful in our everyday lives.
