Giving my recount muscles, guts and skin.

Here is my Easter recount after I worked with my teacher to make sure it was good enough for publishing.This is what she means when she says my story has to have muscles, guts and skin. I want you to notice that I used a simile, adverbs and adjectives.

Making a story skeleton

KIa ora After we made our writing skeleton on the planning sheet, we had to highlight all the notes and then copy and paste them below in a list one after the other. So, our story skeleton looks like it can stand up now but it is still just bones. Our teacher says writers call this an outline. We read our outlines out loud to each other and they sound good.Here is mine below.

Planning a recount.

Kia ora This week we have been learning how to make plans for a recount so that it has an organised structure.We had to fill in notes in the right places on this form. We didn't have to use whole sentences, just the important ideas. Then we had to read the notes back to each other and they sounded almost like a whole story.Our teacher said it was like we had made a skeleton for our story.Later we get to add the muscles,guts and skin and then we will be finished.
