Summarizing, Main Idea, Retelling, and Theme

Today we talked about summarizing,main ideas, retelling, and themes.

Here's what each one means:

1. The main idea is what the story is about.

2. Retelling is when you tell the story again with as many details as you remember.

3. The theme of a story is what the author wants you to learn.

4.  Summarizing is retelling the most important things in the story, including the problem and solution.
