retell and paraphrase texts in ways that maintain meaning and logical order;
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
A knowledge and skills statement is a broad statement of what students must know and be able to do. It generally begins with a learning strand and ends with the phrase “The student is expected to:” Knowledge and skills statements always include related student expectations.
Demonstrated Proficiency of ELA.2.7.D
Put pictures from a story in order and orally retell what happened in the story. When collecting responses, evaluate students with a rubric. Two possible rubric ideas are provided below:
Simplified Retell Rubric:
The student is unable to retell the events in a story without adult assistance.
The student is able to retell the events in a story but not in any particular order.
The student is able to retell all key events in a story with minimal detail in chronological order but does not use transition words.
The student is able to retell all key events in a story with lots of detail in chronological order using transition words.
Comprehensive Retell Rubric: A teacher can also create a more in-depth rubric that focuses on certain topics.
Examples:
Number of events/sequences recalled
Use of transition words
Identification of story elements such as characters and setting
Number of details, use of vocabulary from the text
Amount of prompting needed
Notes:
The teacher should assess whether students can retell what occurred in the story in both chronological order and with sufficient detail.
Sufficient detail is explaining the characters in the story, identifying the setting, and retelling what the problem was and how it was solved.
Retelling requires more than just stating the main idea; it requires students to paraphrase what happened in their own words.
Glossary Support for ELA.2.7.D
Students are expected to restate something they have read or heard, retaining the intended meaning of the original while using different words than the author. Students show their level of comprehension and use of language when they correctly paraphrase information to which they were exposed.
Retelling is not providing a verbatim report but rather an effort to identify and describe the essential information of a text. When students are asked to retell a story, they are expected to recall the key ideas and supporting details in chronological order.
