Sequencing Events (Instructional Master 4B-1)
- Remind students that the events in a story are called the plot.
- Review each of the four images on Instructional Master 4B-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 beginning, middle, and end for students to sequence.) 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 wish that 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.
Domain-Related Trade Book

the author. Tell students the name of the author of the book. Explain
to students that the person who makes the pictures for the book is
called the illustrator. Tell students the name of the illustrator. Show
students where they can find this information on the cover of the book
or the title page.
