Recount
The recount text focus is on a series of event. A recount generally begins with an orientation.
The purpose of recount text is to tell:
• About the past experiences
• The event described is intended to inform or entertain.
• The recount text use the simple past tense
The structure of recount text:
1. Orientation:
Orientation provides the backgrounds information needed to understand the text, such as who was involved, where it happened and when it happened
2. A series of events: Then the recount unfolds with a series of event retold in chronological sequences.
3. Re-orientation: at various stages, there may be some personal comment on the incident. We call it re – orientation.
Language features:
* nouns and pronouns used to mention people, things, animals involved in the story like David, the monkey, we etc
* action verbs like go, sleep, run etc.
* past tense, like: We went to the zoo; She was happy etc.
* conjunctions and time connectives to put events, activities or stories in a good order like and, but, then, after that, etc.
* adverbs and adverb phrases uexpress place, time and manners like yesterday, at my house, slowly etc.
* adjectives to describe nouns, such as beautiful, funny, etc
Sample Text:
Today in maths, our teacher read the story of the hungry caterpillar. Then she gave the class a problem to solve. We had to find out how many items of food the hungry caterpillar ate before he built a cocoon around himself. We could work it out using any method and materials we wanted.
Some groups decided to just count the days but that wasn’t enough because the caterpillar ate different amounts each day. Others used paddle pop sticks or grid paper. Katherine and I read the story again and put out a counter for each item of food. Then we added the counters.
Katherine counted them first. She put the counters in piles of ten. She had three piles and one counter left over. That meant the total was thirty-one. I counted thirty-two. Most other groups also got a total of thirty-two so we thought it was probably correct. Then our teachers asked each group to report back and explain how they got the answer.
Task:
Choose one of your life-changing moment s that you will not forget in your entire life. The event must be unique, special, and more than just a so-so story about how you meet your best friend, for example.
Recount the event or story in before the class for not more than five minutes.
