1. “Guessing Places”

The teacher will divide the class into two groups. Then, she

will give some description of five places, and the students

answer it as soon as they know what the places are. The

fastest group who answer the description correctly wins the

game.

Pre Speaking Questions

interesting? Have you ever gone to the places?

b. Where do you usually go to spend your holiday?

B. Theory

1. Recount

is a text to retell events in sequence for the purpose of

informing or entertaining.

It has 3 rhetorical steps (generic structure):

a. Orientation: provides the setting and introduces participants.

b. Events: tell what happened, in what sequence.

c. Re-orientation: optional-closure of events.

Language Features

The use of general nouns (e.g vacation, travel)

The use of relating verbs (e.g was, were, had)

2

The use of past tense (e.g We saw our travel agent

and booked our tickets.)

C. Example:

I. A video recording of people performing their speeches: ‘My best holiday’

II. How to Make an Outline

Reorientation must include who (people), where (place), what

(the event), when (time), why, and how.

Sequence of events mean what happened during that time. The

events must be put in order.

Reorientation is what happened at the end.

In the outline make sure you only write the topic sentences and

you may use points.

Use first person.

2. First event: On the first day the Merino wethers were crutched.

3. Second event: After lunch, we started shearing the lambs.

We all had to help to get the wethers and lambs back into the paddocks, as well as, we had to get a mob of ewes and their lambs into the yards for shearing the next day. Then it was time for tea (that's what my nanna calls dinner).
