When we write a recount there are some key things we need to do. Let's focus on just one of those things in this post, structure.
Learning Intention: I am learning to write recounts.
Success Criteria:
- I can use all 6 key parts of a recount
- I can use the 6 key parts in the correct order
Structure:
There is a special pattern we use when we write recounts. Here are the 6 key parts of a recount in the correct order:
1. When
2. What
3. Where
4. Who
5. How
6. Why
Let me show you some examples:
Warm example:
On the weekend, I played soccer at the park with my friends. I kicked goals. It's fun to play soccer.
Hot example:
On the weekend, I played soccer at the park with my friends Niall and Kiara. We were running fast and kicking goals. I scored a goal when Niall was goalkeeper. We love playing soccer together so I look forward to it every weekend.
Fiery example:
On the weekend, I played soccer at Olympic Park with my best friends Niall and Kiara. Niall usually plays goalkeeper and Kiara helps me with scoring goals. Kiara and I ran super fast and passed the ball to each other. Then, I kicked the ball really hard and it flew into the top of the goal. It was incredible. Niall wasn't sad though, he said it was an awesome kick! I love playing soccer with them and I can't wait to do it again. Next time I'm going to play goalkeeper!
All of the examples meet the success criteria, but the students have challenged themselves in different ways. I can't wait to read your recounts! Have fun with your writing!
