Let's read a story
From beginning to end
I want to see
If you comprehend!
There’s something we call
A story retell
You need to learn
To do it well!
Before you start
There’s something I heard
Retell in order
So use sequence words!
It’s time to start
Your fiction retell
First the beginning
I said with a yell!
Introduce the characters
Setting…place and time
The character’s problem
You’re doing fine!
If there’s no problem
I have read
If not the beginning
Then the middle instead!
Characters have feelings
Like you and me
Add it to your retell
What a memory!
Next comes the middle
In your fiction retell
Include all events
You’re sounding swell!
Don’t forget details
That’s important too
You're almost done
I’m proud of you!
Last comes the end
In your fiction retell
Solve the problem
Don't rebel!
Make a connection
As you'll plainly see
Text to self, text to text, text to world
This part is key!
Your retell is complete
From beginning to end
You did a great job
Let’s do it again!
