How to write a non-chronological report

Sonali Shah is a Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Sports journalist and demonstrates how to write a non-chronological report in relation to her job. The title for her report is, ‘What happens in a footballer’s medical?’ and she describes how she plans, writes and edits her writing. Throughout the process, technical language is displayed on the screen to support pupils’ understanding of the main features of non-chronological report writing. She also explains how important it is to engage the reader and to use appropriate vocabulary/tone to match the audience. Pupils often struggle with the drafting and proof-reading stages of writing, however, these skills are also explicitly modelled by Sonali. Keywords and examples are presented on the screen to support pupils writing this genre.
