Reading Whole Group Lesson: Sequencing

Here's another example of making a lesson more interactive utilizing a little art.  We made the steps to making popcorn and focused on the clue words that organizes the story or steps.  Afterwards we followed the steps and made and enjoyed popcorn together.

I then read The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash.
We paid attention to the story order on the carpet and talked a little about it. 

The students  were then given a boa to sort their sequencing cards on based on the story. The students worked in pairs.  When they saw their boa they were shocked and filled with excitement to figure out the order of the story.
