Recount Writing Introduction

📚 Part 1: Understanding Recounts

1. What is a recount?

A made-up story with magic

A true story about something that happened to you

A list of instructions

2. Which of these are good topics for a recount? (Tick all that apply)

My birthday party

A fairy tale about dragons

Our school trip to the zoo

My weekend at the beach

3. Recounts tell us about events in order. Which words help show the order?

Big, small, huge

First, then, finally

Happy, sad, excited

4. Every recount needs to tell us four important things. Fill in the missing word:

Who was there? What happened? When did it happen? _________ did it happen?

✏️ Part 2: Planning Your Recount

5. Think of a special day or event you want to write about. Complete the planning chart:

WHO was there? (yourself and others)

WHAT happened? (the main event)

WHEN did it happen? (day, time, season)

WHERE did it happen? (the place)

6. Now write three things that happened in order. Use time words like 'first', 'then', 'next', or 'finally':

1. First, ________________________________________________

2. Then, ________________________________________________

3. Finally, ______________________________________________

🌟 Part 3: Your First Recount

7. Use your planning from Part 2 to write a short recount about your special day or event. Remember to:

• Tell us who, what, when, and where

• Put events in the right order

• Use time words to connect your ideas

8. Extension Challenge: Add some describing words to make your recount more interesting. How did you feel? What did things look like?
