Retelling

Our first reading unit is all about retelling. As we read and work through our lessons we are thinking about the essential question: "Why do we retell?" 

This week we practiced different ways of retelling. We retold through drama by acting out the story Little Beaver and the Echo. 

Today we each got a key word from the story If You Give a Moose a Muffin. As we read the story students came to the front of the room when their key word was called. In the end we formed a story line. We then took turns retelling the story using the story line and the key words.
