Reading Comprehension (Retelling)


 * First Grade Unit**

Resources: [|School Tube] Audacity-voice recording program //The Three Little Pigs//, (or teacher selected book), chart paper, markers, Lesson Plan Group Practice: //Henny Penny// Flip Cameras Computers to access School Tube video > Explain to students that when retelling a story, it is important to retell it in the correct sequence (or order). I will model retelling a familiar story previously read aloud in class. I will chart the events as I retell the story and discuss how important it is to tell the story in sequential order. Note: Save the chart of the retell for Lesson 2. > Ask: How did I retell the story? Students should respond that you told the story in the order in which the events happened. Develop an anchor chart together to jot down essential elements of a good retelling. > The students will read //The Three Little Pigs//, and chart details from the story in sequential order after we finish reading. (Guided Practice Teacher Example Chart is provided below in Teacher and Student Materials.) > **TIP:** Read //The Three Little Pigs// before charting the retelling of the story. Then do a picture walk through the story to remind students of the events in the story and the order in which they occurred.

 * GROUP PRACTICE**
 * In the students small group they will read //Henny Penny//. They will then write the important events in sequence to help with the retelling making sure they have the critical components of a good retelling. When the groups are confident with their retelling, they will record their retelling using a flip camera or audacity and upload to share with other first grade classrooms. The other classes will provide feedback using the rubrics.
