We worked VERY hard last year with DS9 on "retelling" and event order, and summarization. These are all things that show up on the state end of year tests, so it was important that he understand how to give the expected answer. He would have rather basically re-told the entire story to you, but he's learned, thankfully, how to identify the types of events that most people consider important in retelling a story. (Granted, he personally still prefers to emphasize other parts of the story, or retell the entire thing.)
