Look at the box below. Did you find all of the features listed here?
Common features of a non-chronological report
Not written chronologically (in the order things happen) but in different topic areas.
Subheadings are often questions, with paragraphs giving the answers.
Paragraphs usually start with a topic sentence (a general sentence to introduce the
subject).
Example: ‘There are three kinds of ants in a colony.’
- Written in the present tense. Example: ‘These protect the queen…’
- Uses formal rather than informal (chatty) language, but difficult words might be
explained. Example: ‘colonies (groups).’
- Uses ‘you’ to make the information more reader-friendly.
Example: ‘You may have heard of…’
- Uses adverbs to from one idea to another.
Example: ‘However’.
