Recount

We are learning to recount events that happened in the past.

We know we can do this when we can:

·    Follow the Writing Process

·    Have a title

·    Write: an orientation telling when, who, what and where the event happened, a     sequence of events using tine connectives and a personal comment to conclude the recount

·    Use the past tense

·    Use a lot of different descriptive words to make our recount more interesting

·    Start my sentences in different ways

Charlotte said, "I learnt to do a recount about something that has happened. There are 4 parts in a recount - the title, orientation, sequence of events and a personal response. I learnt to use cool words that paint pictures in peoples head when they read my story.   I learnt to use similes and onomatopoeia  to make my story more interesting and ellipsis when something else is coming in the story. Next Step:  I will use more descriptive words."
