The Rather Interesting Octopus

• What do you think is interesting about the octopus? What did you already know and what have you learnt? [Challenge children to recreate the image in a group relay.]
• Why has Matt Dawson presented the facts in this way? What is the effect of the layout on the reader?
• Who is the intended audience?
• Why is the fact about camouflage written in a different coloured font?
• Research a creature of your choice. Present the information in an interesting format.
