50 daily informative writing prompts for Year 5 students, fully aligned to the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 (AC V9.0) English — drawing on the Language and Literacy strands.
Each prompt page includes:
· A named craft focus — a specific informative writing skill from the AC V9.0 Year 5 curriculum
· An engaging prompt with a clear topic to report on or explain
· A practical writing tip
· Name and date fields, and a full page of ruled lines for extended writing
Year 5 informative writing develops detailed, cohesive reports, explanations and feature articles. Students organise information into clear stages, describe with expanded noun groups, and use specialist and technical vocabulary with precision. They build cohesion to guide the reader through the text, use diagrams, tables and image sequences to inform, and shape writing for a particular purpose and audience. Every prompt names the skill it targets, so it is ready for explicit teaching. Australian spelling and contexts throughout.
Skills covered across the term: report stages, expanded noun groups, technical vocabulary, cohesion, explanations, visual information, feature articles, comparing and analysing, writing for an audience, and full information reports.
Also included:
· A curriculum-link page with the exact AC V9.0 content descriptor codes
· The year-level achievement standard, plus a plain-English explanation
· An explanation of how the prompts connect to the curriculum
