This engaging and purposeful lesson is the first in a series of lessons that enable children to gradually build towards composing an effective, well-structured recount.
The first lesson focuses on what recounts are, establishing the main features and techniques.
The eye-catching and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation guides teachers and children along the following learning journey:
-Knowledge harvesting what children already know about recounts;
-SPAG starter: Homophones
-Finding out more about recounts and the essential techniques through watching a BBC Teach ‘Michael Rosen’ video, and answering comprehension questions about what they have watched;
-Establishing a success criteria for recounts;
-Analysing a ‘WAGOLL’ (what a good one looks like) and identifying the features and techniques from the success criteria;
-Reflecting on their learning from across the lesson.
The PowerPoint presentation and activity resources needed are provided (any readings or worksheets are provided in both Word and PDF).
These lessons were originally created for children in lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4). The focus of the recount in these resources is a ‘journey’, but the resources have been made in a way that they can be easily adapted to your chosen topic/ subject matter.
