PLAN
A HOLIDAY!
Organise Your Material
You know your main Task, which you defined in Step 1.
You will also know by now some of the subheadings you can
use. You should use these to organise your research findings into groups.
You could use the Six Questions (who, what, why, where, when and how)
to prompt you.
For example, with the main heading as Planning a Holiday, the subheadings
could include:
•
TASKS•
WEBSITES•
ICT TIPS•
NATIONAL CURRICULUM SKILLS • Who
to go with, who to ask for help
• What to do when we get there, what arangements
to make before we go,
• Why we choose to go there,
• Where we're going
• When we're going
• How to get there, how to get around when we're
there.
Each of these could be a paragraph or several paragraphs. This way we can organise our thoughts into a useful order. Readers will understand us more easily.

NOTESPresenting Our Findings
In an essay we might not
write subheadings, but the topic of each paragraph should be clear.
Paragraphs are very important to divide our main topic into bite sized
chunks. Indent every paragraph to make this clear.
In a PowerPoint presentation or a wall display we might
have large subheading titles to make clear to everyone the topic we
are presenting. We could use a series of headings of different sizes,
some bold or underlined to separate the sections.
