Chain of Events

(Story Sequence)

 This is a fun way to help students see the sequence in a story.  It can be changed for story elements, character traits or you name it!

 1.   Give the students 4 index cards with a hole punched in the middle (lengthwise)  at the top and bottom of each card. 

2.   On the 1^st card, students will write the title and the author.  On the back side they will draw and color a scene that represents the story.

3.   On the 2^nd card, students will write the beginning of the story and on the back side of that card illustrate a scene from this part of the story.

4.   Students will continue until the ending card.

5.   Spread open paperclips and connect them to the cards.

Hang them in the room. :)
