Materi pokok & uraian konsep pembelajaran

Narrative and historical recount texts preserve cultural heritage and historical memory. By studying the courageous journeys of national heroes and timeless Indonesian folklore, students gain profound insights into values of integrity, sacrifice, and loyalty.

Historical recount texts document factual chronological events of past figures (orientation, series of events, reorientation), while folklore narratives revolve around fictional character conflicts (orientation, complication, evaluation, resolution, and coda).

Grammatical mastery focuses on the simple past tense (regular and irregular past verbs), past continuous tense, time linkers, direct and reported speech, and adverbial clauses of time. Students compose historical retellings and engage in storytelling.
