Sequencing Events (Instructional Master 6B-1)
- Remind students that the events in a story are called the plot.
- Review each of the four images on Instructional Master 6B-1. Identify
the characters, setting, and plot for each image. - Have students cut out the four images.
- Tell students that they will arrange the images in order to show the
proper sequence of events. (You may wish to choose three images
to represent the beginning, middle, and end.) Tell students that when
they sequence events, they show what happened first, next, and last.
This is similar to retelling a story from beginning to middle to end. - You may have students work in small groups or with home language
peers to retell the folktale as they figure out the sequence. - Check to see if students are able to correctly sequence the pictures.
Once the pictures are correctly sequenced, you may choose to have
students glue or tape the pictures on paper. - As students complete this activity, you may have them retell the
folktale again, referring to their sequenced pictures.
