Facts, Lists and Captions Unit

Build early informative-writing skills with a complete Foundation unit on facts, lists and captions. Students learn that facts tell true information that can be checked, opinions tell what a person thinks or feels, lists group related words or ideas, and captions tell what pictures show.

The 30-slide editable presentation introduces each concept through child-friendly explanations, examples and quick checks. Three colour displays and an individual reference page keep key ideas visible, while Crazy Creature Lab and Caption Match Photo Album give students practical opportunities to describe, sort and match information. Six worksheet resources provide sequenced practice, with matching answers for closed-response pages. A two-page assessment and rubric support consistent checking and reporting.
