A beautifully illustrated poster which gives students tips for writing to inform and explain. 

The advice for students includes reminders of the need to consider:

  • the audience and purpose and their impact on tone and style
  • the overall structure
  • sentence-level structure
  • techniques such as direct address and imperative verbs.

This poster can be used as it is and would be perfect alongside any informative or explanation writing task, or as part of a revision booklet for non-fiction writing.
