Text types: Recounts

Linking clauses to create a recount

Focus on grammar

In other pages in this set we have described the clauses used in recounts. In this page we are now going to explore how these clauses are tied together to create recounts. To do this, we use the following language patterns across the whole text or across stages of the text:

	vocabulary patterns
	chains of pronouns which refer to participants in the text
	connectives
	patterns of information flow
