Memories Recount

Memories Recount

Students will experience a basic recount planner by drawing pictures to represent Where, Who and What they did on the weekend, holidays or other personal experience. It also introduces time openers such as First, Then, Next. Students will then use these ideas to write a basic recount.

Weekend or holiday recounts are a simple way for students to begin writing using the structure of a recount. The blank option could be used along with a language experience you choose to give the students or a personal experience of their own choice.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to recognise that texts have different features and purposes, e.g. recount, narrate, express opinion, inform, report and explain.
  • We are learning to identify that texts serve different purposes and that this affects how they are organised.

Differentiation

Modifications

Students may require somebody to scribe their sentences for them to copy.
 

Extensions

Give students additional paper and ask them to use descriptive words to make their writing even more detailed.
