Written Language

Recount writing has been the focus genre for written language this term. In order to develop each student’s ability to write an effective recount we began by revising the key language features and structure of a recount. This was followed by a series of lessons designed to develop individual language skills. Activities introduced were focused on the topics - time connectives, verbs, adjectives and past tense. Further to these topics, students have also broadened their understanding on how to incorporate effective topic sentences to each paragraph as well as learning to write an effective opening paragraph.
