Retelling Stories

Today we are going to revisit how to retell a story.  When retelling a story, we always need to remember the characters (who was in the story), setting (where the story takes place), the problem, solution, and know what happened in the beginning, middle, and end.  Since it was just Easter, we will listen to a story about a rabbit named Peter.  The story is called 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' by Beatrix Potter.

Please go to THIS LINK to read the story yourself.  You can also press PLAY at the red bar at the beginning of the story to have it read to you.

Here is also a video of Rose Byrne reading it to you on Storyonline.

 

After you finish reading and listening to the story, please use the following graphic organizers to help you retell the story.  You can use these or just write them on a piece of paper.  Remember to READ OVER your work afterwards, making sure that you have capitals and periods, and that your sentences make sense!
