Main Learning Outcomes:

Setting the Context: To kickstart their creative journey, children will be encouraged to discuss and recount exciting events from their holidays. This step helps learners tap into their personal experiences, setting the stage for authentic, engaging recounts.

Deconstruction: This stage focuses on the crucial elements of writing – adjectives, verbs, nouns, time connectives, chronological order, conjunctions, and subordination. Students will learn how to use the “5 Ws” (Who, What, When, Where, Why) to explain events in their recounts. This process helps them understand the structure and components of a well-written recount.

End of Topic (Big Writing): As the culmination of the unit, students will put their newly acquired skills to the test by writing their own personal recounts. Can you imagine the stories they’ll share?

Through our 1-Week Writing Unit, students will not only improve their writing skills but also develop a deeper appreciation for their own experiences. Embark on this exciting journey with us and let’s transform your students into eloquent storytellers!
