Sequencing
Sequence: ordered steps through time
Think about the sequence of the following passage. Pay attention to the signal words. What is the order of events?
First event – signal word “begin”
Second event – signal word “next”
Third event – signal words “go on to”
Fourth (final) event – signal words – “then,” “finally”
Cause and Effect
A good way to find the correct sequence is through cause and effect. A cause makes something happen, so an effect would follow.
Directions: choose “cause” or “effect” for the bold part of the sentence.
