Teacher Name:
 Casey
Grade:
 Grade 3
Subject:
 Language Arts

Topic:
 Sequence of Events
Content:
 First, Second, Then, Next and Finally Sequence of events is the order in which events appear in a story. Group work can be an efficient form of cooperative learning
Goals:
 The students will learn and understand sequence of events
Objectives:
 The teacher will then ask the students to summarize the story in their own words and tell the main points. The teacher will write down what the students say on chart paper with a marker. The teacher will then read the list of randomly assigned events from the chart paper and ask the students to come up to the front of the room. She will ask them to put a number beside the event that occurred first within the story. When the events are numbered in the sequence in which they occurred in the story, the teacher will read aloud the list of events again. This time she will read them in the correct order.
Materials:
 Chart paper �Markers �Paper �Pencils
Introduction:
  Many of you know the story of The Three Little Pigs. You know that a big bad wolf came to huff and puff and blow the little pigs� house down. This is what �they� want you to believe. But is that what really happened? A. Wolf tells The True Story of the Three Little Pigs to you. The real story was about a sneeze and a cup of sugar. Alexander T. Wolf was framed. Here is his side of the story. The teacher will read the story out loud.
Development:
  Introduce the concept of sequence to the class and explain that this is a strategy that they are going to use to understand what they have read.
Practice:
  Explain that they are going to build a human timeline to review the sequence of events in the story. Give each student or pair of students a blank sheet of plain white paper, and have them work together to describe by drawing the event from the story. Begin the timeline process by having students divide themselves up into three groups based on when their event happened in the story: beginning, middle, or end. In each group, have students work together to decide the sequence of events. When the group has a tentative order, they are to sit in a line in their order.

Closure:
 The teacher will review the concept of sequence of events, and how there are sequence of events in every story. Then have them write a short journal if they believe the wolf or the three little pigs
