The word 'Recite' can be 'repeat from memory' and 'retell', but which meaning matches the following instance?
[Check whether students can recite the story]
1. The teacher wants students to repeat the story from memory.
2. The teacher wants students to retell the story.
I will go the 1, because it seems 'RECITE' tends to mean REPEAT more often in class context. Am I right?

'Retell' to me suggests saying the story in a different way, not word for word. When you recite a poem you want to get all the words correct.

Given the students are repeating a story from memory in both cases, repeat, retell or recite would work.
Retell: tell (a story) again or differently
Repeat: just means to do something again
Recite: repeat aloud or declaim (a poem or passage) from memory before an audience.
Both definitions suffice in this case

As long as they’re saying something they memorized it would be considered reciting
