Strategy 10: Retelling

This encourages to think critically about what they read by having them to tell what they read as close as they can to the original without reading directly from the story.  Thus this encourages students to imprint as much as they can of what they read into their memory.  Then the students are able to make the text into their own and are able to make their own interpretations of what they have read, allowing them to truly internalize the text.  I would incorporate this by very informally asking the students to describe what they have read in class.  If I could tell that they were able to fully describe the text then I would know that they completed the assignment.
