Dear Readers,
We have been learning how to write a recount. As year 6's we need to say who, why, what, where, when and how. We need to write in first person(I) and past tense. We have been focusing on using dialogue, emotions and vocabulary.
We watched a YouTube video about a diver being almost swallowed and listened to his interview. You can watch the
video here.
Here is the interview that I wrote, imagining I was the diver and telling my recount of this experience.
Interviewer: Where were you taking photos of before you got swallowed by the whale?
Me: I was taking photos of sardines in the ocean because there was a sardine run and it looked amazing. There were some shark in the was big and was eating sardine. Then suddenly the whale came up then grabbed me. I knew that it was a whale from the pressure.
Interviewer: So you had this incredible experience and are lucky to be alive. Tell what
Happened?
Me: The first thing I realised was that something grabbed me. I just knew it was a whale because of the size and the pressure. It was super inside the whales mouth. I couldn’t breath. My snorkel was on my mouth and I was afraid that the whale will dive down the I will be drowning. I held my breath because then I will have a bit of oxygen.
Interviewer: Before the whale grabbed you, did you see the whale coming towards you?
Me: No I did not see the whale coming towards me because the whale was at the Opposite side of me it came up and grabbed me.
Interviewer: What did it feel like when you were inside the whale?
Me: I felt scared when i was in the whales mouth.
Interviewer: How did you not panic?
Me: I calmed my self up not to panic if I panic the more the whale will swallow me.
