Non fiction books

I am learning to describe the features of a non-fiction text.

The book ‘The Biggest Land Animal” is a non-fiction text. I know it is non-fiction because:

Photos What type of pictures are in this book?	Photos
Index What does the index tell us?	If you want to read your favourite page you can find the numbers.
Glossary What does the glossary tell us?	Tells us what the words are.
Why do we read non-fiction books?	To learn about animals and other things.
What have you learnt from reading this book?	What elephants have.

This activity was easy for me because I read lots of non fiction books and I know lots about them.

Adding details

I am learning to add some detail to my writing.

Lucky the Whale

One day in the blue sea there was a whale called Lucky. She had ten friends. Her best friend was called Emily. They were very best friends. When Lucky was a baby Emily was a baby too. Lucky and Emily had the same birthday. Lucky and Emily’s birthday was on the 2^nd August. When it was the 2^nd August Lucy and Emily were happy. Then Lucky’s friend came.

 I always add lots of detail to my story. Sometimes I need to look at my plan to help me remember all of them.
