Big Idea/Essential Question:

Essential Question: How can I find the sequence of a story?

Today I will learn what the sequence of events in a story is.

So that I can remember and understand how to find the sequence of a story.

I know I’ve got it when I can correctly organize a story’s event in the correct order.

Engage/Relate:

The teacher begins the lesson by telling the students that they are going to hear a story. The teacher will tell a made up story that has a definite beginning, middle, and end events. (Ex: The a girl one day woke up and looked in her fridge, she realized she had no food. She went to the store. She got different foods. She then paid for the groceries. After that, she went back home). The teacher will then review the parts of the story (beginning, middle, end) and have the student identify each. The student will then partner share what they think sequencing is. The student will then share thoughts with the class.

Whole Group Mini-Lesson: The teacher will then explain to the student that the sequence of a story is the order that the events in a story happen. The teacher will ask the student to think about the order that the story was in.. The student will share answers and the teacher will ask the student if the order of the story would make sense in a different order. The teacher will explain that that those thoughts are the same for stories too. The teacher will introduce the words, first, next, then, and last as words that help the reader to see the sequence of events in a story. The teacher will then read the story “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle. As the teacher reads the story, the teacher will stop after the first two events in the story and model how to find events and fill in their sequencing caterpillar. After reading the story, the student will complete their sequencing caterpillar with events three and four. When the student is done, the teacher will have the student self evaluate by giving a thumbs up, down, or sideways based on understanding.
