Identifying the most important character in the story helps us
find the main idea.

What is sequencing of Events?
Sequencing refers to the identification of the

components of a story, such as the beginning, middle,
and end, and also to the ability to retell the events within
a given text in the order in which they occurred. The
ability to sequence events in a text is a key
comprehension strategy, especially for narrative texts.
Why is learning sequence of events important?
Sequencing refers to putting events or

information in a specific order. The ability to
sequence requires higher-order thinking skills, from
recognizing patterns to determining cause and effect and
more. Sequencing helps students understand and
organize material they've learned as well as helps them
solve problems.

Drawing Conclusions
Objective:
Predict possible ending of a story read.
(EN1LC-IIIa-j-1.1)
What is drawing conclusion in reading?
Drawing conclusions is using information

that is implied or inferred to make meaning out of
what is not clearly stated. Writers give readers hints
or clues that help them read between the lines,
since not everything is explicitly stated or spelled out
all the time.
What is the purpose of drawing conclusions?
Drawing conclusions refers to information that is

implied or inferred. This means that the information
is never clearly stated. Writers often tell you more
than they say directly. They give you hints or clues
that help you "read between the lines."
