Text Types - Book 3: Informative Texts

The Text Types series is designed to help students understand and appreciate the idea that texts differ from one another in terms of their purpose, structural features, language features and the medium in which they appear.

The series introduces students to a range of text types and in this way enables them to become confident in identifying a text as a particular type and qualifies them to form expectations about its content, form and objectives. The series also functions to help students begin to write different types of text confidently and incorporate the different features of each text type accurately.

This series is highly recommended for any teacher teaching English in upper or lower secondary school.

Informative Texts

The third book in the series introduces students to five text types. The students are shown examples of procedures, explanations, recounts, reports and descriptions. All of these texts are topical, clearly presented and engagingly illustrated. Students are encouraged to read each text type carefully, respond to them and identify their special features.

Cleverly constructed activities which are outcome linked guide students to plan and write their own five text types.
