Retelling using a string

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Can I tell you how much I LOVE retelling?

It's true. I do. Really, I do!

And so do my kids. They do. Really, they do!

I remember reading about Retelling Ropes from Kelli at Castles and Crayons. Then, I saw Cara's too cute recreations at the First Grade Parade. Which perked me up a bit. Still, I was too busy to get off my tush and try it out.

A couple of weeks ago, I completed the reading series and had some time to think about the skills and strategies I wanted to cover with all of this glorious available teaching time.

This week, I've been using the mentor text, Joseph Had a Little Overcoat, to teach finding the main idea of a story.

This is such a great story and I just knew it was time to retell it.

Check it out, she has some fabulous ideas.

Is there talented teachers everywhere or what?!?

She has a super cute anchor chart and printables for teaching retelling and making your own rope.

I only had ribbon, so ours is called the Retelling Ribbon.

The alliteration is still there - no harm, no foul.

We've had such a blast retelling. They even adore writing their retelling.

Could it get any better?

I was thinking if I had started this sooner, it would have been great as homework or to add to their journals during Work on Writing time of Daily 5.

Today, I had them pick a fiction story on their own and practice retelling in groups.

I love to see happy engaged students.

BIG THANKS to Kelli, Cara, and Nancy for getting my tired booty into this awesome new-to-me reading strategy!

Sequencing with fairytales

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Sequencing events in a story can be difficult for students. This is one of my favorite lessons to teach because it really engages my students. It makes them thi

# data[].attributes.body
Fiction:

Order the events in a story

Beginning, middle, end

Retell a story

Nonfiction

Order the events of your day (individual, class)

Explain how to make/do something

How do I do this in the classroom?

Centers

Write together as a class about a shared event or read aloud

Groups read a story and create a series of events. These events are cut apart and given to another group who must read the story and reassemble the events in the correct order.

Use comics to increase student interest

Have students write about their day

Have students tell how to do/make something

Have students listen to a story, then put events in the correct order. This can be done in groups or individually, depending on the level of student understanding.

Use a string to aid students with retelling.
