The description of (script for) the lesson, wherein you describe teacher
activities and student activities
Students should be sitting on the carpet area
Introduce the book Owen to the students. You may have read this book before.
have we seen a mouse like this before
Look at the cover of the book
Look at the author of the book
Ask students if the book is fiction (real) or non-fiction (real)
- How do we know this?
- Do mice wear clothes?
Do a picture walk with the students on the document screen
Read the story Owen without interruptions or stopping

Discuss with the students what happened during the story.

Open to the beginning of the story. Ask students, what happened in this part of the
story?
- Owen had a fuzzy blanket when he was a baby
Next : Blanket fairy
Then: Putting the blanket in vinegar
Last: Making the blanket into handkerchiefs
What problem did Owen have? Couldnt bring his blanket to school
How did Owens mom fix the problem? By making the blanket so that Owen can
bring it to school (in handkerchiefs)
Talking about what happened in this story is called sequencing
Sequencing is putting things in order.
Show students the sequencing paper of Owen.
I have taken the steps of the book and put them on this piece of paper
Read each of the things on the paper, ask the students if the sentences on the paper
are in order.
Probe, Is this the last/first thing that happened? students should recognize that
the sentences are out of order. Confirm this.
Tell students that at their desks, you are going to have them put the parts of the
story in order. Tell them that they can use the pictures to help them put them in
order. This will help ELL students.
We are going to be cutting and gluing these in the correct order. Before you cut I
first I want you to number your sentences. Do the first and last ones while students
are still sitting at the carpet. Explain: I want you to number these middle two. When
you think you have it numbered correctly, I want you to put your head down and
your thumb up. We will then go through it all together.
Do this with the students ^^
Go ask students to give what they think is number 2, If you agree with ----, do this.
(Agree hand motion) if you disagree do this (disagree hand motion)
Ask one or two students why they agree or disagree.
Give students the correct answer and show on the document camera.
Listen to my directions before you do anything.
The next thing I want you to do is write our sentence starters on a large piece of
construction paper.
Show students your paper. Ask a student to read each of the words:
First, Next, Then, Last.
Ask if anyone has a question about these words.
When you write it, make sure it is written small in the top left corner of each box.
Prompt students to do this on there papers, When you finish, hold your paper in the
air so that I can see it.
We will be cutting these papers into strips and gluing them on construction paper. If
you do this correctly, you will not have any scraps at your desk. Do you need to cut
circles around the words? No, just into strips.
After this you will glue your answers on your construction paper. What number
should go in the first box? #1
Tell students that when they finish, they should write their name on the back of the
paper and leave it at their desk

Closure

Close by having the students read what is on their paper. (including the first, next,
then, and last)
Tell them that they just sequenced the story of Owen!
