This week in English, we will be looking at a range of inspirational women to link to our topic ‘I have a dream’. Each day this week, we will write small pieces of writing to put together in to a non-chronological report titled ‘Women who changed the world’.

To start with you will need to decide how you want to design and organise your information. Which will you choose?

• A booklet with pages for each person
• A power point
• Microsoft word
• Pic collage
• Poster with text boxes
• Written format

Once you have an idea of how you want to present your information, you may continue.
