Lesson Introduction: Recount Writing from Personal Experience

🎉 Welcome to Our Exciting Recount Writing Adventure! 🎉

Hello, lovely Year 1 students! Today, we’re going to start a fun journey into the world of recount writing. But before we dive in, let’s do something special to tickle our imaginations!

🎈 The Magic Memory Box 🎈

What is a Memory Box?

Imagine you have a special box in your room, filled with wonderful memories! This box holds tiny treasures that remind you of special moments in your life—like your last birthday party, a family holiday, or even your first day at school.

Activity: Let’s Create Our Own Memory Boxes!

1. Gather Around: Sit in a circle on the carpet.
2. Close Your Eyes: Let’s take a moment to think about happy memories we cherish—think of something you loved doing. It could be a trip to the park, a picnic with family, or that time you made a giant sandcastle!
3. Open Your Eyes: Now, using your imagination, let’s start creating our very own Magic Memory Boxes!

What Will We Put Inside?

• Draw a Picture: Take your paper and crayons. Draw something that represents your happy memory.
• Share with a Friend: Once you’ve finished your drawing, turn to your partner and share your memory. Tell them about the places, people, and things involved!

Why Are Memories Special?

Memories are important because they help us remember the good times in life! When we recount these experiences in writing, we can share our happiness with others.

After we’ve created our Magic Memory Boxes and shared our experiences, we’ll use these joyful memories to practice recount writing.

Get excited! We’ll learn how to tell our stories in a way that paints pictures in the minds of our readers. I can’t wait to hear about all the wonderful memories you will share in your writing today!

Let’s make some magic happen! 🌟
