Recounts

    1.
  1. an act or instance of giving an account of an event or experience.

Why do we write recounts? Because you want to share news or stories to people that don't know what happened


How do we organize a recount? 

What is a personal recount? Retelling an event that you were personally involved in (whether you were included in the event or just simply saw it

What is a Factual recount? A factual recount is when you tell someone what happened, without adding any extra embellishments or small lies

Imaginative recount? An imaginative recount is telling something from another person's view (ex; a pirate) This type of recount could be completely made up, (ex; the pirate could have a magic toothbrush)

In what publications do we find recounts? Recounts are seen in newspaper articles, magazines, someones diary *cough*Quinn*cough*, blogs, TV show scripts, etc.
