Retelling

This week, we're reading the story A Fine, Fine School by Sharon Creech. It's a humorous fiction story about an enthusiastic principal  who keeps adding more school...weekends, holidays, and the summer!
from Amazon

We'll be studying story elements and retelling this week. Attached are two graphic organizers to help students identify story elements (character, setting, problem, and solution) and retell the story. Keep in mind, the these responses should be in complete sentences. I also tell the students that each section of the retelling should have two or more sentences in it.
