Literary Recount………. Write a literary recount of “Meet the ANZACs” A literary recount gives details about what happened, including who was involved, when and where the event took place, and what may have resulted. What is a literary recount? A literary recount is similar to a factual recount. Both types of recounts give details about what happened, including who was involved, when and where the event took place, and what may have resulted. A literary recount can be about real or fictional events and characters. A literary recount is different from a factual recount because it includes more than just facts. A literary recount: retells a series of events with characters gives facts and feelings about the events often uses dialogue between characters creates an emotional connection with the reader uses descriptive language. Examples of a literary recount Literary recounts include more emotional connections between the reader and the story than factual recounts. Some examples of literary recounts are: short stories and novels biographies and letters fables, myths and legends plays, films and television programmes poems and songs picture books. Structure of a literary recount A literary recount must begin with a title or a heading. The title should relate to the text, but can be creative. The introductory paragraph is called the orientation. In this paragraph the setting and characters are introduced. This may also give the reader a general idea of what the text will be about, or may contain background information that helps to explain the first scene of the text. The body of the text contains the sequence of events. The sequence of events is usually written in chronological order (the order they occurred). The purpose of these events is to tell the story. This includes what happened, how characters (or people) within the text felt about the events, and how any problems were dealt with. The concluding paragraph is called the reorientation. This paragraph sums up the recount. This is where the sequence of events ends and any issues or problems are completely resolved by the characters. The emotional responses of the characters involved may also be included in this s Source: http://www.skwirk.com/p-c_s-6_u-124_t-340_c-1179/WA/6/Literary-recountsLiterary-text-typesText-typesEnglish/ Found : Google Images Leanne Williamson, 2015

Simpson and his Donkey…….. Simpson and his donkey appear on the ANZAC Medal which was awarded to every Anzac soldier who served on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Perhaps you think it is not right to give this donkey such a prominent place in ANZAC history…. after all it is only an animal. Maybe a soldier and a nurse should be on the ANZAC medal.
