can you create an anchor chart for students to simply understand the difference between retell, paraphrase, and summarize

This resource explains the differences between retelling, paraphrasing, and summarizing a text, which are essential skills for understanding and conveying information effectively. It defines each term clearly: - **Retelling** involves sharing the story again with all the original details and in the same sequence. - **Paraphrasing** means rephrasing the ideas in your own words while maintaining the original meaning. - **Summarizing** requires condensing the text to its main ideas without additional details. Each section includes guidelines on when to use each skill, followed by an example text illustrating retelling, paraphrasing, and summarizing for better comprehension.
