Sequencing Lesson Plan

New York State Learning Standards:
· ELA Standard 1: Students will listen, speak, read, and write for information and understanding.
· ELA Standard 2: Students will read and listen to oral, written, and electronically produced texts and performances from American and world literature.

Objectives:
· Students will be able to define what sequencing means.
· Students will be able to sequence pictures using first, second, third, fourth, and last.
· Students will be able to sequence pictures using first, next, then, and finally.
· Students will be able to write a story using sequencing.

Procedure:
· Define sequencing.
· Discuss how you can put things in order using the terms first, second, third, fourth, and last.
· Discuss how you can put things in order using the terms first, next, then, and finally.
· Discuss how you can write a story using pictures and the terms that were taught.
· Show children Windows Movie Maker show on sequencing.

Activity:
The teacher will discuss the term sequencing with the children. She will then talk about how when you sequence things you are putting them in order. The teacher will show the children that you can use different terms to sequence things. They are first, second, third, fourth, and last, or first, next, then, and finally. The teacher will then model how to write a story using first, next, then, and finally. The teacher will put on the Windows Movie Maker show on sequencing for the children to watch. They will then have to use the pictures at the end of the show to write a story.

Assessment:
The teacher will know that the children understood the lesson by questioning them throughout the activity and by the finished stories they write.
