Research Look at websites. Download brochures. Ask family members. Go to the library.

• produce graphics, such as a chart, comparing the two places • use other visuals, such as, drawings, flyers, video or sound effects • write a conclusion. Find out as much as you can. Make notes and share your findings with the group. Agree which place you will recommend for a family day out. Draft, write and revise your section.
