Sequencing

Today we talked about sequencing and the importance of giving directions or summarizing stories in the correct order.  To gain a better understanding of sequencing, the students were asked to boil a familiar activity down to four easy steps.  As always, I have left the spelling intact for the charm-factor.  Read carefully - you may just learn a thing or two.

How to plant a flower
First, you bey a flower and get drte.
Second, you get a pot.
Third, you put soil in the pot and wotr too.
Fourth, and then you let the sun do the rest.

Ahh, that magical sun!

How to spell the word dot
First, you get a pesel.
Second, you write a "d".
Third, you write a "o".
Fourth, then last you write a "t" then your don.

I know.  It's difficult to take in all those instructions at once.

How to milk a cow
First, you grab a bucket.
Second, you grab a stool.
Third, you find a cow.
Fourth, you put the bucet under the cow and sqees the cow.

The only thing that's unclear here is where to squeeze.

How to take a shower
First, you get undressed.
Second, hop in the shower and get your hair wet.
Third, you put shapoo in your hair and condishiner and put soap on your body.
Fourth, wash your hair and hop out but dry your hair and get dressst and walk away.

Seems to be a lot of hopping involved in taking a shower.

How to watch a movie
First, you chose a movie.
Second, you pute in the movie.
Third, you push all the buttons.
Fourth, then you watch the movie.

I'm not sure it's advisable to push all the buttons, but it must work for her.

How to make someting disupier
First, get a bunch of dinomite.
Second, and then get a mach and light it.
Third, and then throw it at the thig you want to disapier.
Fourth, the only problum is it'l never come back.

Do you really want it to come back if you're trying to make it disappear?

Some days I learn more than my students do.
