Retelling

We really focused on how to orally retell stories during guided reading, and whole group, and had the students tell a partner during their "read to self" center. We practiced writing the parts of the story as well and instead of just writing the Character, setting, problem, and solution, I had them write at least 3 main events that lead to the solution of the story. We practiced whole group, small groups, partners, and then individual practice.

Below is a picture of the written retelling on s sentence strip and created the character (walrus) out of construction paper to create a fun activity for the students!



Below is another picture of written retelling. We read a story called "The Three Tamales," and after we wrote, we rolled them up like little tamales! :)
