Retelling stories using beginning, middle, and end (RL.1.2)

What is this section about?
In this section, you will learn how to retell a story by remembering the important parts:

Beginning – How the story starts. Who are the characters? Where does the story take place?
Middle – What happens in the story? What problems do the characters face?
End – How does the story finish? How are the problems solved?
Retelling a story in order helps you understand it better and become a great storyteller!
