How do you get the kids to understand that you want them to re-tell the story?

@kenny77771 Making the kids understand what you want is one of the huge hurdles of ESL teaching. BUT, once the kids get used to you, they will understand what you want. also you may have some activities that you do frequently and the kids will get better and better at those.

Often, the kids are capable of doing what you ask, but not of understanding the instructions. The two options are, you can re-explain with simpler words, and also do modelling, or you can translate.
