What to Say When You Retell

Learning Goal:
We are learning to retell a story.

Success Criteria:
We will talk about:

• the setting (where and when?)
• the characters (who?)
• the problem and solution (what happened?)
• the beginning, middle, and end – in order
• our connections (it made me think of…)
• the author’s message (they wanted us to think about…)
• the most important part of the story
• our thoughts about the story

Here are some stories that you can practice retelling.
