6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

Engage: Who likes to go to the movies? I love movies because I can relate to the stories that are being told. It's entertaining to me. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're serious and inspiring, sometimes they're pretty sad. The movies I love the best have a sequence that makes sense to me. Who knows what the word sequence means?

Sequence is the order of events. (Call and response)

The sequence of a story is important because it can help you understand what is happening, and help you make predictions as to what should happen next.
 

B. Development-

Demonstration-

Demonstrate storytelling using the words first, then, and finally to represent the beginning, middle and end.

First, I had a whole apple.
Then, I took a bite.
Finally, I ate my whole apple.

 

C. Practice-

Guided Practice-
Think about your school day. What happens beginning of school, what happens in the middle of the school day, what happens at the end of school? Describe 3 events from your school day to your partner using the words First, Then and Finally.

Ask 2 scholars to share the events of their school day.
 

D. Independent Practice-

Illustrate the events you described to your partner in the boxes on your paper. After you get your ideas written, write a sentence to match each illustration using the words First, Then and Finally to begin your sentences.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

ELLs and lows- Emphasize illustrations and sequence accuracy. Focus on beginning sounds and sight words for sentences.

Meds- Write sentences with correct format (capital letter at the beginning, and punctuation marks at the end).
