Story Retell vs. Summary

Today we learned what a summary was - a quick retelling with important parts, but not ALL the details.

To show the difference we made two videos about There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly - one of the Folk Tales we've been enjoying!

Here's the retelling ...




And here's the summary that we wrote together and recorded ...




We used an iPad stand to hold it steady - that's the red thing you see.

We noticed that the video for the retelling was MUCH longer, and the summary was very SHORT.

What do you think about our retellings and summary? We'd love to read your comments!
