Doing a retelling is short; 2-3 sentences. What was the beginning of the story about? (Please write the sentences below. Do your best!)

Continue retelling. Now what was the middle of the story about? *Hint: what is the problem in the story at this point? (Do your best and write out 2-3 sentences!)

Finally, what is the end of the story about? Retell the ending as best as you can! What happened in the end? (Do you best again!)

NOW...do a full retelling of the story (should be about 6-8 sentences long total. It's ok if it's a little more or less though.) Tell what happened in the beginning, then in the middle, and then in the end. What was the whole story mainly about? (Keep doing your best writing here!)
