Teaching Scenario 

Pre-Activity
First, the teacher asks the students about the definition of recount text.
In this term, the students are expected to be active to answer the question or share the information that they know before. It makes the students more confident and improve their knowledge about recount text.

While-Activity
1. The teacher explains about the definition of recount text.
In this part, the teacher's role is to be explainer, and the students role are to be listener. The teacher also give the correction of the wrong answer and gives reward to the student who answer the right.
2. The teacher explains the generic structure of recount text.
In this section, students are expected to more understand about recount text while they are understanding the generic structure.
3. The teacher explains about the characteristics or language features of recount text.
In this section the teacher explains about the tenses that are used in recount text, the students are expected to more understand the temporal sequence of recount text.
4. The teacher gives an example of recount text.
It makes these students more understand about the application of some materials that their teacher explained before.
5. The teacher make a practice reading. The students have to read paragraph of recount text.
So they are expected to analyze the structure of recount text.

Post-Activity
The teacher asks the students to make a paragraph of recount text individually.
It makes the students have the opportunity to experiment with the material that they have learnd and also to show how far they understand the material.
