Retelling Familiar Stories

Our Multiage class loves to read and had so much fun retelling familiar stories using iMovie.  Students learned about retelling stories using a "retelling rope," which includes naming the setting, characters, problem, an event from beginning, middle, and end, and finally the solution.  They then each chose a familiar book and wrote a sentence about each part of the retelling rope.  After creating an illustration for each in Drawing Pad, the final step was to put it all together in iMovie. By using the voice recording feature, each student created a short video that retells their story using their own words and illustrations.  Enjoy the films of some of our favorite stories below!
