Learning ObjectiveName _____________________ Today, we will identify1 sequential order patterns. 1 find (synonym) CFU What are we going to do today? What does identify mean? Identify means _____________. Activate (or provide) Prior Knowledge Number the steps in the correct order. A. 2 3 1 B. 2 1 3 CFU Students, you already know that we do things that happen in some kind of order. Text also uses order to tell us things. Today, we will identify sequential order patterns. 4th Grade Reading Comprehension 2.1 (1Q) Identify structural patterns found in informational text (e.g., compare and contrast, cause and effect, sequential or chronological order, proposition and support) to strengthen comprehension. Lesson to be used by EDI-trained teachers only.
Concept Development • Sequential order patternis written in the order in which things happen or are done. • Sequential order text does not make sense if the order is changed. • Sometimes sequential order clue words can be used to identify sequence. Sequential Order Pattern: Not an example of Sequential Order Pattern: CFU Which example below uses the sequential order pattern? How do you know? A. First, I get my magnifying glass.
