'Who Sank the Boat?’ Retell Template
This worksheet can be coupled with the story mapping worksheets to assist students in writing a retell of the events in ‘Who Sank the Boat?’. Students identify the main events in the beginning, middle and end, to write their very own retell. This worksheet also includes a retell checklist to remind students of the core elements of a simple retell.
