_{📃RETELLING AND/OR REENACTING EVENTS}

• Retelling and reenacting events are two important skills that you must have to check how you understand a particular story. In doing these, you need to actively listen and focus on the details or information presented to you.

• Retelling events is simply to tell the story again by focusing on the important details. These details include the characters, settings, and events.

• Reenacting events refers to acting out a story. From the story that you have read or listened to, you have to act it out by focusing on the important details or information. You may also relate yourself in every event, so you can easily remember or recall what happened.
