This week at the RBE Library, our 2nd grade students will be coming to the library for a story, lesson, and activity on retelling.
Many of the resources I used for this lesson came from the First Grade WOW ( firstgradewow ) blog. Great ideas and resources!
Our 2nd graders are going to enjoy one of my new favorite books, Good Little Wolf by Nadia Shireen. This is a great choice for this activity because the book has those fractured fairy tale connections like some similar characters and story elements.
Before the story we are going to talk about the different elements of the story using the Retelling Activity story rope and poem.
Then, we read the story and filled out the activity page. After that, I moved the students over to the tables where I had pictures of the characters printed out and glued to Popsicle sticks. The kids used their activity page and the stick puppets to retell the story.
