In "Double" Walk-to-Read this week....

This week we will study SEQUENCE....

 ·   The SEQUENCE is the order of events or steps in a text.

·   In some stories a character may tell another story or remember something.  Usually, the events the character is remembering came before the story.  This is called a FLASHBACK.

 

·   It is important to understand a FLASHBACK so that you can understand when the events occurred and the effect the events have on the current story.

 

·   How do you identify FLASHBACKS in a story?

 

·   Use TEXT and PICTURE CLUES to identify events that happened before the story.
