Retelling and Summarizing
	Got It (N/A)	Still Getting It (N/A)	No Clue (N/A)
Retelling A Story	Got It I can tell a story again, completely in order, using the author's words (not my own) and at least 5 or 6 of the following parts: the characters and their traits, the setting, all of the events in the plot including what happened first, next, then and last as well as the problem and the solution.	Still Getting It I can tell a story again, mostly in order and using most of the author's words (some of my own) and at least 3 or 4 of the following parts: the characters and their traits, the setting, all of the events in the plot including what happened first, next, then and last as well as the problem and the solution.	No Clue I am struggling to retell a story again, in order and using the author's words. I can only identify 1 or 2 of the following parts when I retell: the characters and their traits, the setting, all of the events in the plot including what happened first, next, then and last, as well as the problem and solution.
Summarizing A Story	Got It I can summarize a story I read or heard IN MY OWN WORDS by making sure I only tell what the story was MOSTLY about. I do this by using only SOME of the details from the text and only the MOST IMPORTANT events in the plot in order, including the problem and solution.	Still Getting It I can summarize a story I read or heard using MOST OF MY OWN WORDS by making sure I tell what the story was SORT OF about. I do this by using MOST of the details from the text and MANY events in the plot (some in order and some not in order), including the problem and solution.	No Clue I am struggling to summarize a story I read or heard using ANY OF MY OWN WORDS. I am not sure what the story was mostly about and I can only describe a few of the details from the text and a few events from the plot. I can not identify the problem or the solution in the story.
