Grade 2 - Early Asian Civilizations

Early Asian Civilizations: Supplemental Guide DR | Domain Review 267

When students have completed their drawings and sentences, tell

them that they are going to put their drawings in the correct narrative

sequence—in the order that they heard about the ideas in the read-aloud.

Ask students in what direction they read.

• left to right
  Then tell students that they will stand from left to right to retell the read-
  aloud with their pictures. Have one student come up to the front of the
  room and read his or her sentence(s) aloud.
  Then have another student come up, read his or her sentence(s), decide
  if their depicted event occurred before or after the first student’s, and
  reflect that sequence by standing to the left or to the right of the first
  student. As students read their sentences aloud, be sure to expand upon
  their ideas, encouraging the use of increasingly complex sentences and
  domain-related vocabulary.
