Waste materials. Research, note-taking and report writing.

Step One:
Choose one of the sources below.
Plastics- Tiki the Penguin

OR

The problem with waste in NZ

Step Two:
Watch or read through the site.

Step Three:
What are some of the main ideas?
Write 4 of them into the windmill.

Step Four:
Start recording details in key words onto the windmill.

Step Five:
When you have enough details you can write an information report. You can use the Information Report organiser if you like.

Step Six: What is the subject? Write an introduction like we have practised.

Step Seven:
Each windmill arm is a paragraph. Write a topic sentence that tells us the main idea of the paragraph.
Now put supporting details.

Step Eight:
When you finish the paragraphs, think about a concluding statement- it can give clues to your feelings about the subject by the word choices you make.
