✂️ Teacher Tips for This Retelling a Story Activity

You may be wondering about the prep required for this activity. Here are some of our suggestions

For older students:

Give each student a set of the writing pages (run them off on the copier as sets so you don’t have to sort them all post-printing). Have students cut out each flipbook page along the dotted line.

Once all six pages are cut apart, have students stack them from largest to smallest, lining up the top. Staple together across the top to assemble the flipbook!

For young students:

For your younger students to focus on the questions (and not the cutting and assembly!), consider printing the pages individually for the number of students and then using a paper slicer to cut them in bulk. Line them up on the floor in your classroom and call students forward to collect each sheet along the line until they have their entire set.

You could be waiting at the end of the ‘production line’ with your stapler ready to combine the pages and save them from being misplaced!
