In our writing lessons, we have begun our first writing unit! We’re going to write a recount as a warrior arriving back home to Athens.
What is a recount?
A recount re-tells events and describes what has happened.
What makes a good recount?
- past tense
- description
- feelings
- adverbs
So far, we’ve read a WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like) and we’ve decided that the best recounts include lots of detail and their sentences start in many different ways. One way to do these two things is to use adverbs!
What is an adverb?
An adverb is a word that adds information to the verb. It might tell us how, where or when something is happening.
For example:
Miss Birch danced elegantly.
The boat floated into the harbour early.
I love chocolate ice-cream the best.
Help at home: Use adverbs to describe your everyday tasks. I am walking up the stairs carefully. I woke up eventually.
We’ve identified adverbs in our writing and our next step is to use them in our writing. Check back here soon to see how we’ve been getting on!
