The month of December comes and goes SO quickly - don't you think?! I left school in a flash on the 23rd leaving all the remnants of a fun filled week of school behind. I went to school today to tidy up the room a bit and get ready for school to start up again on Monday. As I was cleaning up I was reflecting on the work that we did with the Gingerbread Unit from Corestand. First, we made an anchor chart of Things That Should be Included in a Good Retelling. I had my students work in groups of three to complete the retelling organizer included in the unit after each read aloud. We shared our work at the end of each lesson and talked about whether the retelling included everything it needed to. At first the kids were not very critical of the work, but by the end they started to notice weaknesses and strengths in each others retelling!
