Lessons on story mapping and retelling

Lesson 1

Lesson: Readers retell stories

Lesson 2

Lesson: Readers tell about the characters

Yesterday we practiced retelling a story.  Remember that when you retell a story you give lots of details.

One of the things that readers give details about is the characters.  Today I am going to act out a character from a fairy tale and I want you to guess who I am.

Why were you able to guess my character?  

When you retell a story you need to tell details about the character.

Turn to your talking partner and tell them about a character and see if they can guess your character.  Your character should come from a fairy tale.
