Levels
Level 1: 3 story events are displayed in random order.
Level 2: 5 story events are displayed in random order.
Activity Insights
What is Sequencing?
This activity helps students identify the sequence of key events in a familiar story.
Why do students struggle with Sequencing?
Students will have difficulty if they cannot identify where a story begins and ends or they don’t understand the logical flow of a story.
How do I further support students?
After students are familiar with a story, ask them to identify what happens in the beginning, the middle, and the end.
