Animal Information Report Planner

This planner aligns perfectly with the features shown in the Informative Text Presentation. Animal information reports are a terrific way to introduce students to the basic features and structure of information reports.

Use a range of animal non-fiction texts to explore. Students can then choose their favourite animal to complete an information report on. These planners allow students to collect the necessary information needed to create an information report or poster.
