Structure of a Recount

Today we have been learning about what a recount is. A recount is when you retell / describe past events. We have recounts to explain what happened during the experience. I learnt that a recount must have: a Hook to capture audience interest levels, an Orientation which covers: When, Why, What, Who, Where and How, and a summary which sums up how you felt about the experience. A recount is always written in past tense.
