  2. SEQUENCING • Sequencing is one of many skills that contributes to student’s ability to comprehend what they read. • Sequencing refers to the identification of the components of a story, such as the beginning, middle, and end, and also to the ability to retell the events within a given text in the order in which they occurred.

  3. SEQUENCING In sequencing the learners are presented with a text that has been altered in terms of the sequence of elements. Elements that may be reordered include: • Paragraphs • Sentences within paragraphs • Clauses within sentences • Words and phrases within clauses

  4. SEQUENCING The general procedure is as follows: 1. Choose a text or series of texts and change the sequence of some the paragraphs or sentences within paragraphs or of certain elements within sentences. 2. Have students work out what the original sequence might have been in one text or a portion of one text through noticing a particular grammatical feature or set of grammatical features.

  5. SEQUENCING 3. Work with the students to explore further the kinds of grammatical features that can be used as clues to help to determine the original sequence and why the original sequence is better. 4. Have the students practice this procedure on their own with the rest of the text or another similar text.

  6. Sample Teaching When students are taught how to organize sentences into coherent paragraphs, instruction often does not go beyond vague notions of ‘paragraph topic’ (i.e. ‘each paragraph should have a topic sentence’) and ‘paragraph focus’ (i.e. ‘all the sentences in a paragraph should be about the same thing’). This information is usually not enough to help students write paragraphs in which information is introduced and elaborated on in a logical way.

  7. For example: Microsoft Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world. The software was developed by Bill Gates back in 1985. In this example, the topic of the second sentence is the same as topic of the first sentence. When the reader encounters ‘the software’, he or she already knows that the paragraph is about Microsoft Windows, and the comments in both sentence new information about this topic. This example illustrates one of the most common patterns of textual organization – the maintenance of the same topic from one sentence to another. This pattern may continue throughout one whole paragraph or even longer

  8. SEQUENCING Reorder the following sentences to create two coherent paragraphs. a. (First Sentence) Her second album, The Fame Monster, was released in the following year. b. Bad Romancetalks about the difficulties involved in falling in love with one’s best friend. c. In an interview with the journalist, Gaga talked about her family life and how it had contributed it her success.

  9. SEQUENCING • d. Lady Gaga was chosen as one of the ‘10 most Fascinating People of 2009’ by the American TV journalist Barbara Walters. • e. This album featured Gaga’s new hit single Bad Romance. • f. She said in the interview, ‘I’m not just a performing artist. I’m also a daughter and a sister.’
