To orally tell events in chronological order.

This week we are going to write a recount of Robert Falcon Scott's journey to the South Pole.

Let's remind ourselves of what a recount is.

To help us write in chronological order using time conjunctions, we are going to use the familiar journey Tom took and change parts to write about Scott's journey.

Let's learn.

Tom's journey

Tom's dad was a famous explorer. He got lost whilst exploring the
North Pole. Tom resolved there and then to rescue him.
First he studied a globe and found the North Pole. Then he bought a
map, packed his bag and set off.
After sailing many weeks, gigantic icebergs appeared on the
horizon and Tom saw many beautiful shapes in the ice.
When he reached the North Pole his boat ran aground on the ice so
Tom used a hot air balloon. But the balloon sailed too high and was
hit by a passing satellite.
Next Tom had a parachute but he landed on a very dangerous cliff.
While he was walking, he met lots of scary animals.
Later he spotted a familiar tent on the horizon. He found his dad.
He took a flare from his bag and signalled for help. Finally they went home.

Instead of drawing a story map, we will draw a recount skeleton to plot the events in chronological order like this one.
