Logical sequence

​What does this mean?

When asked to present anything in a logical sequence...

I am really asking you to identify key events and place them in chronological order.

​

As a class, let's put the key events from a popular movie into chronological order. ​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Arranging key events in sequence by time of occurrence.

What about cause and effect?

​Cause = the reason for something happening​

​effect = what happened

​

When you use cause and effect, you are successfully explaining WHY THINGS HAPPENED IN A NARRATIVE​

Turn and talk: How can identifying cause and effect relationships in a story help us become better readers/speakers/thinkers?​

​So, because, therefore, if, then, so that, without, cause, effect, how, explain

​

Can you think of any other signal words for a cause and effect relationship?​

​

WE DO: As a class, we will write down some examples of cause and effect relationships.​

​Your turn to practice! Type on a word document or handwrite

As a class, let's decide using appropriate volume
