A Recipe for Retelling

Ok this post was supposed to be published on Friday, but I guess we forgot to hit publish--sorry!!!

In Reader's Workshop, we have been very busy finding all the right ingredients to make a recipe for the perfect retelling. We have been reading books, which we call Star Books, over and over so that the students become very familiar with the text and the features in the text. We have been enjoying CAPS FOR SALE, THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF, & WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. Since our students had a whole week to practice retelling, today we retold THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF using our flannel board. You'll notice on our chart that we represent the beginning, middle, & end with shapes...ask your student what they mean and see if they've remembered all the ingredients for a perfect retelling!
