How do you write an informational story?

Here's how to write an informational story:

1. Do your research and find out all about the subject so you have information to write about!
2. List everything you know and have learned about the subject - don't bother to use correct grammar at this point
3. Arrange the items in some kind of logical order - pretend you want to explain this subject to a friend, and put the information into an order that would help that friend understand it
4. Make each line on your list into a complete sentence with proper grammar and spelling
5. Write your report by putting these lines into a story and adding any extra lines to make it flow better -- again, pretend you're telling your friend all about it so he or she can understand
