Recount
The final source for the understanding the strategy of recounting
comes from a British teacher resource center, SparkleBox, and
delineates the features of recounted text:
• Begins by setting the scene – who, when, and where the event
occurred.
• Details of a sequence of events in the order they happened.
• A closing statement, written in the past tense.
• Write in the order that the events occurred (chronological order).
• Use time connectives like after, meanwhile, then, or next.
A “recount” of a story requires students to synthesize information into a
more concise version of a retell. A recount begins by explaining who is in
the story and where it takes place. The reader then synthesizes
information into a clear beginning, middle and end. They share a recount
with phrases such as:
In the beginning,
First,
In the middle,
Next,
At the end,
Finally,
In conclusion
These phrases encourage the reader to
understand the sequential order of the
events as they did in a retell but begin
to combine or classify them into
beginning, middle and end. This
requires students to begin categorizing
information and combine like ideas.
Recount may be written or oral and requires a clearly sequenced
ordering of narrative events
