01

What Students Need to Do

Students tell a real or made-up story by writing, drawing, dictating, or using a digital tool. They put events in order, add actions or feelings, and give the story an ending. With help, they plan, reread, and fix confusing parts.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student tells what happened first, next, and last without skipping a key event. They add a detail about what someone did, thought, or felt. After feedback, they can make a confusing part clearer.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may list events without making the order clear. They may use 'then' in every sentence, even when the events are out of order. Some stop after the last action without telling how things turned out.

04

How to Assess It

Ask students to write or dictate three sentences about losing a mitten. Look for events in order, one action or feeling, and an ending.

1. 01

   Give pairs three picture cards showing a spilled drink; have them arrange the cards, draw an ending, and write a sentence for each.

2. 02

   Read 'The Little Red Hen' and ask, 'Which action shows how the hen feels, and what might she think next?'

3. 03

   Give students cards labeled 'first,' 'then,' and 'finally'; have them match each card to a picture and tell that part of the story.

4. 04

   Ask students to tell a partner how they got ready for school, then write three events in order and add how they felt.
