Unit focus

  • A retell keeps the important plot and characters. An adaptation changes a part while still using a familiar story structure.
  • Use this routine: Remember story → Keep main parts → Change/adapt one part → Retell clearly.
  • Watch for random changes: Keep enough familiar structure for the story to make sense.
