Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and explain how to structure and format a recount of an experience and a template to plan a fictional recount of an expedition to a dangerous location such as a rainforest or desert location.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how to write a fictional recount of an expedition to a dangerous location around the world.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate the text structures and content of explanations and recounts and plan and write matching texts, explore and use spellings of words with cious and tious word endings and use colons to mark the boundary between sentence clauses.. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
