Description

First graders often have trouble sequencing stories and following a logical narrative writing and paragraph structure. Ordering sentences into paragraphs allows students to practice the narrative paragraph structure from topic sentence to details to conclusion sentences.

This ordering paragraphs activity is differentiated to meet the needs of kids on multiple levels. The easier levels include narrative paragraphs with transitional words like first, next, or last. The harder levels do not include order words.

INCLUDED IN THIS ORDERING PARAGRAPHS ACTIVITY

  • 12 narrative sequencing stories differentiated from easy to more difficult based on first grade standards

HOW TO USE THIS ORDERING PARAGRAPHS ACTIVITY

These sequencing stories were created to support your narrative writing instruction, particularly when you are teaching narrative paragraph structure. Here are a few ways to use these activities...

  1. whole group lesson and activity
  2. collaborative group work (each group works on a different paragraph and shares)
  3. carousel activity (have groups move from one station to the next ordering each paragraph and recording it)
  4. literacy centers

Useful lesson, loved presenting it, but there are some spelling errors on a couple of the paragraphs. Also (and this is just my subjective, personal opinion) the sentences about “my husband” and “my friend having a baby” didn’t seem relatable to younger children reading the words.
