                                        Plan for retelling

I. Introduction

    I am going (I want, I would like)

    - to retell a (funny, humorous…) story, a text, a fable, a chapter from the book…, written by a

       famous (popular, well-known) English / American / French / Russian author…

 - to retell a Russian, English… fairy-tale. Fairy-tale often have no authors, because they were  

   written long-long ago by simple folk, and were retold by word of mouth from father to son.

    The title of it is …

    The title helps me to understand what the text is about (who the main character(s) is  (are), the plot,  the idea, the message of the text).

II. Main part

• This text is about … (is about how) – try to say it in one sentence.
• The story is set (develops) in the forest, in the street, at school, at home, in a fairy land…
• It takes place in winter, in the evening, at night, during some days…
• In fact there is one main character in the story (there are two … main characters); name them – It is… they are…
• There are also minor characters who help(ed) me to understand the story (the plot, the main idea) better- name the minor characters.
• Then you retell the story, without details. You speak only about important facts and deeds of the main characters:
• After your retelling, you speak about the main characters:

(appearance, age, traits of character with examples)

• As I have understood the author teaches us (the reader)

      to find a way out of any difficulty

      to be diligent and hard-working

      to be attentive at the lessons

      to be kind and friendly

      to help people in trouble

      to always keep your word or promise

      to tell the truth

      to  tell right from wrong

      to love our native land

      to be helpful to grown-ups (parents, friends, teachers, people in need)

      to be tolerant

      not to be idle or lazy

      never to deceive anyone

      not to tell a lie

      never to do harm to nature or animals

      not to pollute (nature, forests, parks…)

      not to throw litter in the street

      not to boast

      not to play jokes on people

      not to laugh at those who are weaker

      and so on…

III. Personal Appreciation

      - I like the story, book, text     because

      - The story is interesting …, instructive…, funny…, true to life… .
