🤖 Cute Simple Retelling Writing Template

This adorable robot-themed retelling writing template is the perfect activity to add to your collection of student activities to do during a teaching unit on retell. Your students will love cutting out and creating this robot while showing their comprehension of a simple text. While this robot craft will look super cute displayed in your classroom, students will still have to show their knowledge of the setting, characters, beginning, middle, and ending events of a story that has been read to them.

After reading a simple text to your students, provide each student with the retell category template from this resource only. Then, they will need to complete this before having fun creating their little robot character.
