Reports and Explanations

They could create an information or reference book in which they include reports and explanations. It is based on the short writing test Endangered Creature and will offer opportunities to explore features of impersonal style such as complex sentences, use of passive voice, hypothetical language (if...then, might, when the...) and technical vocabulary.
