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.
