Writing a Recount

Abigail’s Recount Writing Learning story

The Problem:  

How do I retell a significant event so others can share my experience?

My recount:

Jack and the Beanstalk: From the perspective of the Giant I was asleep on my nice bed then I smell someone coming inside. then I woke up and I saw a boy running away. so I ran after that boy and I caught him.then I slip so he ran as fast as he could.then on the next day jack Came back and he didn’t knock On the door. he climbed through the window when mum was cooking food for me. So I said Fee fi fo fum I smell a child with my nose. so I got this piano so it made me go to sleep. Jack quickly ran out of the oven and ran away and climbed down the beanstalk. and then I ran after him then he said to get the cross so him and his mother cut the beanstalk down. Then I fell on the ground.

Success criteria: (highlight the success criteria your writing shows)

I can use-

• A powerful hook to get the reader’s attention
• Where, when and who in the introduction to set the scene
• An introduction- middle- conclusion
• The 5 W’s (where, when, why, who,  what, and why) and 1 H (how) to add detail
• Dialogue to tell what happened
• The past tense
• Descriptive words to make the writing interesting
• Precise words to let the reader know what exactly happened.
• Connectives to make the  story flow from one group of ideas to another.
• Punctuation to help the reader understand the ideas
• Personal voice like I think….
