Introduction
(3 minutes)- Gather the class together and explain that today you will be learning how to retell a story using props (puppets) and narration.
- Demonstrate how you can retell what happened in a familiar story (e.g., Goldilocks and the Three Bears) by telling the story in order.
- Ask students what happens if you tell the ending or middle of the story first (you get confused, you might not learn why something is happening, etc.).
