How to write a recount
- Write your recount in the first person because it happened to you! Eg "I felt excited."
- Use the past tense because it has already happened. Eg "It was the biggest fish I had ever seen!"
- Recounts are written in the order in which they happened. This is called chronological order. Use adverbs such as: Firstly, next, then and finally.
- Using descriptive words will make it seem like your reader is there with you. Eg "The fish was shiny and slippery." Focus on the most exciting parts.
