Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to select and list a set of questions that can be used to investigate different types of animals when reading and accessing non-fiction information texts to find matching answers to each selected question about a specific animal.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compile lists of questions that can be used when investigating different types of animals using information texts.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise different ways of finding information about animals in non-fiction information books, investigate words spelt with the or sound and use commas to write lists about groups of animals. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
