Good morning year 6, I am mixing things up again today and we are going to look at two short paragraphs. The type of text is an information text about the effects of climate change and the increase in droughts. I have pinked all the good features for you to see and written little codes around them. See if you can find them all. I have also highlighted spelling errors in green for you to correct. 

What is the link between climate change and drought?

Sub   While droughts can have different causes depending on the area of the world and other natural factors,C the majority of scientists have started to link more V intense droughts to climate change. This is because as more greenhouse gas emissions are relesed into the air, causing air temperatures to increase, more moisture evaporates from land and lakes, rivers and other bodies of water.List  Warmer temperatures also increase evaporation in plant soils, which effects plant life and can reduce rainfall even more. When rainfall does sub come to H drought-stricken areas, the drier soils it hits are less able to absorb the water, increasing the likelyhood of flooding.

What are some of the major impacts of drought?
