Definition
Recount text is a type of text that retells past events or experiences. Recount is generally based on the author's direct experience, but can also be imaginative or outside the author's experience (Education Department of Western Australia, 1997a: 45).
The purpose of Recount is to retell what happened and this may involve the author's personal interpretation. According to Anderson and Anderson (1997a: 48), Recount aims to give the reader an idea of what happened and when it happened.
Historical Recount
The purpose of Historical Recount is to write or tell what happened in the past, by focusing on a group of people who lived in a certain historical period. Historical Recount can also tell or write about what happened in the past to explain why it happened, and make general statements about historical patterns.
