Exploring the Exciting Village Walk

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to write a recount of a walk around the village.

Warm-up Activity

Take a few minutes to discuss with a partner or in a small group what you enjoy about going for a walk.

What is a Recount?

A recount is a type of writing that retells events in the order they happened.

Brainstorming

Let's brainstorm together! What are some things you might see, hear, or do on a walk around the village?

Planning Your Recount

Now that we have some ideas, let's organize our thoughts. Fill in the provided graphic organizer with details about your walk.

Writing the Recount

Using your graphic organizer, write a recount of your walk around the village. Remember to use time words like 'first', 'next', 'then', and 'finally'.

Editing and Revising

Review your recount and make any necessary changes. Check for spelling, punctuation, and clarity.

Sharing and Reflection

Share your recount with a partner. Discuss what you liked about each other's writing and provide constructive feedback.
