LC: To write a reorientation.

A reorientation is the last paragraph in a newspaper recount.

It details what is happening now after the main events have been reported and it is written in present tense.

Take a look at the reorientation for the newspaper report Flying Toads Toured the Town! 

Can you identify the above features within it?

YOUR FIRST TASK

Read the reorientations taken from 'Boy Overboard!' and 'Mowgli Missing' and identify what is happening now and the present tense.

Log onto Seesaw to annotate these reorientations. 

Remember to identify what is happening now and the present tense.

Who is now investigating this peculiar event?

Have a go at writing a reorientation for this event. You can use the 'Flying Toads Toured the Town!' reorientation scaffold to help you.
