This graphic organizer is a common one I use when working on sequencing a story. I use a sequence organizer often while reading fictional texts in small group. I like to use the transition words of first, next and last as those are use often in different grade levels when writing. Using an organizer similar to this one helps students realize the different parts of a story and how there is a particular order to a story. This also helps students realize how to retell a story from the beginning instead of just telling different parts at different times, which happens often with students on my caseload as they will forget what happened at the beginning of a story and just focus on the end. It can also be used in different content areas, such as science and social studies, as both areas tend to have a specific sequence of events and order.
