What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students use drawing, dictation, oral expression, emergent writing, or a combination to narrate events in sequence. They show what happened across time.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student represents at least two ordered events and communicates who or what was involved. The sequence is understandable through pictures, speech, or writing.

Common Misconceptions

Students may create isolated pictures without event order. They may tell one moment or change the sequence while explaining.

How to Assess It

Give a two- or three-event picture prompt. Ask the student to narrate the sequence through drawing, speaking, dictation, or emergent writing.

  2. Ask students what happened first and next.

  3. Play Event Order Retell.

  4. Narrate a familiar classroom routine.
