Lesson details
Key learning points
- When we are recounting, the information we are sharing with someone is called a recount.
- A recount is written in the first person because it happened to you.
- A recount is written in the past tense because the events have already happened.
- A recount is written in chronological order.
Common misconception
Pupils may think a recount needs to include every single detail rather than just the most important moments.
Teach pupils to be selective about the most important parts when recounting. This could be taught by playing a game looking at a school day and choosing the most important parts (lunch, playtime, home time) compared to the least important.
Keywords
Recount - to tell again or describe something that happened in the past
