If you're looking for a detailed lesson plan on event sequencing from informational text, you've found it. There is an entire script for you to draw from as you explore order of events and sequence words. Scaffolding is key here; learners begin by listening to you demonstrate the skills and then practice it themselves. They engage in multiple reading comprehension and vocabulary activities, filling out a sequencing graphic organizer. All materials are provided here for printing.
