To review your understanding about what you have learnt in Learning Activity 2,
consider the following questions:

a. What have you learnt from Learning Activity 2?

In this activity I have learnt about the definition of recount text.
I have learn about how to analyze the contextual differences and similarities
between a number of recount text in regard to the social functions, the text
structures, and the lexico-grammatical features. And to obtain a number of recount
text in regard to the social functions, the text structure and the lexico-grammatical
features.
b. What do you need to do when you are expected to write a recount text?
I need to know the Key Features of Recount, such as the social function, the
generic structure of recount text which consists of three elements: orientation,
events, and reorientation by considering the lexico-grammatical feature.
How to write recounts:
The structure or order must have three paragraphs and the must be the
introduction (Orientation), the main body (Record of events) and the conclusion
(Reorientation (coda)):
In the introduction (Orientation) we need to click includes of fine W’s: what,
where, why, who and when.
Your main body (Record of events) needs to be in paragraphs, if you need more
than one, you should make you use technical or specific language not stuff or things
so use dates and times, you must write in chronological order that means in the
order they happened and use time or sequential words to show this such as before,
after, next, then, first, second, so you’re writing about what happened in the main
body.
The third or final paragraph will be your concluding paragraph (Reorientation
(coda)), this sums up your feeling about how the activity went, talk about what you
learned, what you enjoyed on what you might do differently, if you had the chance
to do the activity or activities again. So the language or style need to have time
indicator or sequence words as I mentioned you must do it in the past tense because
you’re talking about something that’s already happened. You have action verbs
because it’s talking about something that you did and like I said before specific
details so sequence words next, firstly, then, all of these that are talked about before
I’m sure you think more. We are using the past tense because it’s already happened.
We are going to use action verbs because you are talking about something you did
an adjective to make your writing interesting.
Be specific give example times, dates, names, label your imagines give website
details.
Success Criteria:
- The events are chronological (in order)
- I have used at least three time sequence words
- I have used at least three action verbs
- I have an introduction, a main body, and a conclusion
- I have used the past tense
- I have used specific detail
c. Does an outline empirically help you write a recount text? What does your
experience tell you about it? What does your experience tell you about it?
Yes, It does. Because an outline empirically help me to make a list of all the
ideas that are going to be in developed into sentences. Not only does it help me
organize thoughts, but it will also help my essays flow better! Without an outline I
can’t write a recount text in a good structure and I’ll get stuck in wrtting it.
The three elements of recount text can be explained as follows:
Text Elements: Content:
Orientation : Information about an event and its
setting. It provides details of who,what, when, where, or why.
Record of events : A sequence of events which
happened in a chronological order. What happened? First …..
Second ….. Next ….. Soon ….. During ….. After ….. Later
….. Eventually ….. Finally
Reorientation (coda) : Closure, conclusion, or summary
of the events that explains about what we think, feel, or
decide about the events that occurred
The elements of recount text without reorientation can be described as follows:
RECOUNT PLAN
TOPIC:
1. SETTING: Who, What, Where, When, Why
2. RECORD OF EVENTS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:
Event 1
Event 2
Event 3
Event 4
Event 5
3. Reoreientation
