A made-up story

Telling about something that really happened

Instructions for making something

2. Which words help us show the order of events? (Tick all that apply)

✏️ Part 2: Planning Your Recount

4. Think of something special you did recently (like a school trip, birthday party, or weekend activity). What was it?

5. Write three things that happened in order:

First: _________________________________________________

Then: _________________________________________________

Finally: _______________________________________________

6. How did you feel during this experience? Use describing words.

7. Now write your recount! Remember to:

• Start with when and where it happened

• Use time words like first, then, next, finally

• Write about what you did and how you felt

• Use past tense (words ending in -ed)
