Flip and Retell
This hands-on worksheet is a great way to break down the core components of a written retell for students. Students can work on one section at a time at their own pace to complete the details of a retell.
Learning goals
- We are learning to identify some features of texts including events and characters and retell events from a text.
- We are learning to recognise characteristics of different types of texts, e.g. traditional beginnings and endings of fairy tales and rhyme in poetry.
- We are learning to create short imaginative, informative and persuasive texts to explore, record and report ideas using familiar words and beginning writing knowledge.
- We are learning to edit texts for meaning, spelling, capital letters and full stops, for ourselves and others.
- We are learning to construct texts using software including word processing programs, e.g. MS Word.
- We are learning to create and edit short written texts to record and report ideas and events using capital letters, punctuation and correct spelling of CVC words.
