Objective
With support from the teacher, pictures, language cue words, and story grammar questions, students will retell an abbreviated episode of the story.
Stage of Narrative Development: Abbreviated Episode
Teacher Tips
Model the use of story grammar to retell the story with components of a complete story episode (set-up, initiating event, feelings, plan, attempts to carry out the plan, consequence, and story resolution). Expect that students will retell an abbreviated episode that contains a causal chain of events and most of the story grammar components.
