The document discusses the genre of recount and provides information about its purpose, structure, and language features. A recount is used to retell past experiences or events for the purpose of informing or entertaining. There are three main types: personal, factual, and imaginative. A recount generally has an orientation setting the context, a series of events in temporal sequence, and optionally a reorientation conclusion. Language features include use of pronouns, proper nouns, past tense verbs, and temporal language to sequence events.
