Recount Writing - Two Lesson Pack - Year 5 or 6 An excellent creative writing resource pack to develop recount writing skills, and worked perfectly as a cross curricular writing focus for my Rivers topic. Used over 2 lessons. My class loved listening to the original storytelling of Chapter One of The Wind in the Willows on the video clip included in this pack. It's delightful! If you are looking to cover some work from a classic text, this will work well too. It really captured the children's imagination and the recounts they wrote from Mole's perspective were fabulous! The resources are designed to help the children write a recount from Mole's perspective, recounting his experiences of messing about in a boat on the river after he meets Water Rat. Enjoy the resource pack! Resource pack contents: 1. Illustrated teaching Powerpoint Presentation 2. Extract from Chapter One of The Wind in the Willows 3. Video clip - Retelling of Chapter One of The Wind in The Willows 4. Summary 2 Lesson Plan 5. Recount Writing Worksheet 6. Model example of Recount of Mole's adventure on the river. (p.s. If you experience trouble playing the video in the PPt presentation, it should work if you load it as the seperate vide file included in the resource pack.)
