Last week we retold Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak to focus on retelling and sequencing. After reading the story one time students illustrated their favorite part and then we put them in the proper sequence. Students noticed that some of the important events were missing so we left spaces on the paper to fill them in later.
The following day we filled in the missing illustrations and completed a shared writing to retell the story. Once we completed our shared writing we read our retelling to check for missing information and hung it in the hallway.
Finally, students cut out strips sequenced and glued them down. When they finished sequencing they illustrated their favorite part and we hung them all in the hallway for everyone to see!
We ended our Where The Wild Things Are week watching a reading on YouTube:
