About this teaching resource

Writing templates are amazing tools to help a writer collect and organise information. 

How To:

  • Use them in the drafting process
  • Prompt the reader to include non-fiction features such as headings, captions, labelled diagrams whilst gathering and presenting information
  • Once the writer has gathered information, editing can be undertaken, which may include adding more pieces, rearranging the information, seeing the gaps.

Included in Writing Templates group of resources:

  • Info Sheet
  • Contents 
  • Description Writing
  • Explanation Texts
  • Information Writing
  • Life Cycle Stages
  • Time Lines
  • Make Your Own

My Story:

My favourite experience with a Yr 2 class was using the drafting template to learn how to write about our school.

  • They wrote about something familiar
  • This piece remained as a draft. This was enough to support them to use the same drafting sheet to explore an animal of their choosing
  • The writing, collecting process was seamless
  • What was most fascinating was how students then reorganised their information into Mini Books
  • All the information, all the features, were now presented in book form. That’s young writers who know what it is to be a writer!
