Explanation Writing: Exemplar Text (Level 1/Phase 1)

How can I use this exemplar?

An explanation sets out a way to understand different processes. They might be about how things work or why. Explanations use short sentences and simple words as the intent is for the audience to understand the process.

Explanations are factual and usually in the present tense. They can be chronological and use time conjunctions to help order the process. The language used in an explanation tends to be technical, relating to the process being explained.

Modelled writing involves constructing a text using a 'talk aloud' method to enable learners to see how a text type is structured and what needs to be considered. The model is guided with clear explanations about the reasons for the author's decisions.

Our range of time-saving exemplars provide a range of text types that can be used to model the conventions and construction of writing for different purposes. 

Our explanation is a great way to support learners to practise using a formal writing technique, increase their vocabulary and learn a structure they can build on as they progress through school
