Sequencing the Story (Instructional Master 7B-1)
- Give each student a copy of Instructional Master 7B-1. Explain to
students that this worksheet has pictures of events from the plot “The
Little Half-Chick (Medio Pollito).” Remind students that the plot is the
events that happen in a story.- First, have students talk about what is happening in each picture.
- Next, have them cut out the four pictures.
- Then, students should arrange the pictures in their correct order to
show the proper sequence of events. - When they think they have the pictures in the correct order, they
should ask an adult to see if their order is correct. - Have students glue or tape the pictures on paper once they have
been sequenced.
➶ Some students may be able to write a short sentence about what is
happening in each picture.
