Grade 6: Research Report

If your report skips around with no clear pattern, try one of these ideas.

Put the information in time order. This can work well for reports about people, history, inventions, and processes.

Arrange the information from most familiar to least familiar. This can work well for reports about animals, plants, places, and so on.

Order the information by cause and effect. This can work well for reports on science topics such as earth science, the weather, outer space, and so on.

Use transitional words and phrases to link information.

In fact, since ancient times and up to the eighteenth century, court jesters provided pranks as well as sassy wit to entertain rulers.
