Additional information & example:
Sequencing - is an essential reading skill that students must develop if
they are to fully understand all reading material.
The sequence of events helps readers retell the most important parts of the
story in order. Let's take a look at keywords that can help unlock the mystery to
figuring out when something happens!

Sequence of Events in Fiction

As you listen to the following story, be sure to keep your ears open for time
order words!
First, I woke up and looked out my window. Snow was coming down in
buckets! Next, I rushed down the stairs to ask my mom if school was cancelled. I
shouted 'Hooray!' after mom told me there was no school today. After breakfast,
my brother and I put our snowsuits on. Then, we raced outside to have a
snowball fight. Before we went inside, we built an enormous snowman! Finally,
we went inside and sipped hot chocolate by the fireplace. This was a terrific snow
day!
What are some of the keywords that tell you the sequence of events? The
time order words in this story are: ''first,'' ''next,'' ''after,'' ''today,'' ''then,''
''before,'' and ''finally.''
 Now, let's reread the story and use the time order words to help put the
following events in the right order:
 I shouted ''Hooray!''
 We built a snowman.
 Snow was coming down in buckets.
 We sipped hot chocolate by the fireplace.
 Mom told me there was no school today.

 Using our keywords, we can figure out the correct order using the
timeline:

Snow was I shouted Mom told me We built a snowman We sipped

coming down ''Hooray!'' there was no hot chocolate
in buckets. school today. by the fireplace.

 Using our keywords, we can figure out the correct order using
numbers:

2 - I shouted ''Hooray!''
4 - We built a snowman.
1 - Snow was coming down in buckets.
5 - We sipped hot chocolate by the fireplace.
3 - Mom told me there was no school today.

B. Read and understand “SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT” on page 89-

90.

PLURAL SUBJECT REQUIRES A PLURAL VERB.

Remember that sequencing is an essential reading skill that students

must develop if they are to fully understand all reading material.The
sequence of events helps readers retell the most important parts of the
story in order.
Take note also that a singular subject requires a singular verb while a
plural subject requires a plural verb. All nouns and pronouns have number.
They are singular in number if they refer to one thing. They are plural in
number if they refer to more than one thing.
