Cross Country - Recount Writing
Walt: structure a recount.
On Friday you had the school cross country! What was it like? What was your most favourite part? This week you will create a recount about the cross country day. Make sure to use your who, what, were, when and how in your writing. Expand on your ideas and allow the writer to see what is going on rather than just telling them. This time in your recount writing you will need to stay away from using words like and then all the time.
Once you are done:
