Today I would like you to research the water cycle and produce an explanation text telling me how the water cycle works. I would suggest that you use the following structure to help organise your writing.
Title: Pose a question to the reader. E.g. What is the Water Cysle?
General statement (what the explanation is about): Introduce the reader to the subject of the explanation. (Perhaps by saying what it is a part of or what it belongs to.) Generalise.
Parts: Tell the reader the different parts of the water cycle but with no detail, Would a diagram help? Technical Vocabulary.
Key Facts Paragraphs: Tell the reader how it works using cause and effect connectives. Select the important facts. You may wish to use sub-headings to organise your key points.
Special Finishing Fact: Tell the reader something special or important about the subject.
