11+ Creative Writing Service
11+ Recount Writing Pack
Recount tasks reward selection: knowing what to leave out as much as what to include. Every pack is self-contained: task sheets, planning frameworks, exemplar responses and an optional marking add-on so a tutor reads the final piece and returns a banded report.
Course outline
Session 01
What examiners want from recount writing
Chronology, selection and the detail that makes a real event worth reading about.
Session 02
Model responses
Two exemplar recount writing pieces, one a solid pass and one top band, annotated so the difference is visible.
Session 03
Guided practice tasks
Four graded recount writing tasks with planning frameworks pupils can reuse in the exam room.
Session 04
Timed task and marking
A final task written to exam timing, returned with line-by-line marking and a banded score.
By the end
- Confidence with recount writing under exam timing
- A reusable planning framework for this question type
- Exemplars showing what a top-band answer looks like
- Marked feedback on the final timed task
