Recount of a Journey - Lesson Bundle!

This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually build towards composing an effective, well-structured recount, based on a journey of their choice.

This lesson bundle contains all six lessons from the series:
-Lesson 1: What is a Recount?
-Lesson 2: Vocabulary Building
-Lesson 3: Developing Sentences
-Lesson 4: Creating Cohesion
-Lesson 5: Varying Sentences
-Lesson 6: Editing and Redrafting

In my experience, the lessons each take between 2 and 3 hours to deliver, so depending upon your own pace there is likely 12 lessons of content here.

Each lesson contains an eye-catching and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation, in addition to any additional sheets, templates, or structure strips required for the lesson - everything needed to teach is included.

A range of knowledge recall, think, pair, share, independent, and peer/self review activities are included to ensure that writing compositions are gradually enhanced over the course of the unit.

These lessons were originally created for children in lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4), however, could easily be used for upper KS2 with only minor adaptations. The focus of the recount in these resources is a ‘journey’, but the resources have been made in a way that they can be easily adapted to your chosen topic/ subject matter.
