Learning Objectives

Students will be able to identify the correct sequence of events in a story.

Introduction

(15 minutes)
  • Give students sentence strips from The Little Red Hen. Instruct the students to pay attention to the story sequence as you read the story.
  • Separate students into groups and have them put the story sentence strips in order after you complete reading the story. Ask a group to share their sequence and correct any misconceptions.
  • Tell students that they just sequenced a story, or put it in the correct order.
  • Beginning:
    • Pair ELs in high-low groups to read the sentence strips together.
    • Preteach key terms in the sentence strips ad provide both home language (L1) and new language (L2) meanings with visuals.
  • Intermediate: Provide key sequence words in the sentence strips to allow them to find the order with the signal words.
