Ancient Benin Study: Write an Information Text about Poaching

This resource is meant to be used by children in Key Stage 2 (English objectives pitched to Years 5 and 6) to investigate elephants, the significance of hunting elephants in Ancient Benin, as well as the changes made to this practice with the introduction of European trade to the kingdom. Children will then look at modern poaching and write an information text about the subject.

Children will first read to learn about warriors and hunting in Ancient Benin before planning, writing and revising their own story using shifts in formality.
