The Three Little Pigs: Story Sequencing

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

• Cut out the scenes on the first page of the Fishing Story Flipbook. Do not staple them.
• Mix up the first page of the Fishing Story Flipbook worksheets, and then display them to your students.
• Explain that the flipbook tells about how a boy is fishing, but the flipbook has the scenes out of order.
• Discuss the three activities that are taking place on the sheet. Potential guiding questions include: Why do you think the boy is scared in this picture? What do you think happened?
• Ask your students what the beginning, middle, and end scenes should be. When your students have correctly answered, put them in order on the board.

Guided Practice

• Give your students the second and third pages of the Fishing Story Flipbook worksheets.
• Place a stapler in an accessible area for your students.
• Ask your students to complete one page (one story) at a time. Have them cut out the pictures as directed, and then staple one page's three scenes together once they have ordered them. Instruct your class to do this for the third page's story as well.
• Direct your students to staple the left side of the flipbook.
• When the activity is complete, review the order of the beginning, middle, and end of each page's story.

Independent working time

• Read The Three Little Pigs.
• After you have finished reading the story, offer the students three scenarios. For example: The pigs went to the straw house. The pigs went to the brick house. The pigs went to the stick house.
• Give students the Sequencing sheet and colored pencils.
• Ask your students to illustrate the beginning, middle, and end of the story in the appropriate boxes. Have them use the scenes you mentioned.
