Slugs and Snails

Sparkling in the sunlight, a silver trail winds its way through a garden. What left this mysterious trail? Was this path left by the slow passage of a snail? Perhaps is was the creeping, stealthy work of a slug. Or was it something completely different? Aimed at Australian students in Year 5 and Year 6, this nonfiction mentor text is perfect for small groups / guided reading. Students can see how nonfiction texts can be constructed in an engaging way, with varied sentence structures, use of technical words, noun groups, literary devices and a range of sentence starters. Australian children can learn about the minibeasts that they see in nearby parks, nature reserves, and even in their own backyards. Perfect for modelling non-fiction texts for students in Year 5 and Year 6.
