Reading Early Literature: Sequencing Events
Early literature can be a challenging read because of the language used at the time it was written. Understanding and sequencing events will help students to understand the story and enjoy it more.
Sequencing is putting events or things in order, in the way that they happened.
To sequence events, students should first identify the setting, characters, and plot of the story.
Then they should think about what happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story.
How should students sequence events?
put them in order, put them backwards, randomly choose.
