A Nasty Accident

Dear all,

We have embarked on the next unit - A Nasty Accident. Today, we learnt about predicting the story through the title and image. It is a powerful skill to activate your thinking further - to make sense of the story and arouse your curiousity. Thinking skills are always very important in order for us to make full use of our brain and be a better student.

We also learn about personal recounts in which the writer recalls about something personal that has happened to him.

In personal recounts, these are the following structures:

- Introduction / Orientation (Who, what, when, where)
- Main events (Describing the events that has taken place)
- Conclusion (Commenting on the writer's feelings or closing statement)

Personal recounts make use of past tense because you are recalling what had happened to you.

Examples of recounts would include:
-Interviews
-Diaries
-Autobiographies (Writing a life story of yourself)
-Biographies (Others writing a life story of yourself)
-Journals

Reminder:
Complete your Newspaper Article for discussion tomorrow.

Thank You,
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
