Teacher Martina Bex writes,

“It’s pretty easy to come up with many different ways to review portions of a story, but I’ve always had trouble thinking of unique activities that allow students to re-generate an entire text. Cynthia Hitz’s ‘Back At’cha’ works well for this, as does creating a Class Storybook. These activities are great, because they allow the teacher to lead the class through a complete re-tell of the story without simply asking the class, ‘What happens next?’ ‘And then?’ ‘And then?’ Another activity that works pretty well is what I’ll call ‘Story Strips.’ Use this activity after you have finished asking a class story or reading a story-based text (ex: a novel, short story, or chapter of a novel). It is a good way to generate a complete version of the text in writing and remind students of everything that happened.”
