What does it mean to sequence events in a story?

To arrange the events in the order they happened, from beginning to middle to end.

Why is it important to sequence events correctly?

It helps readers or listeners understand the connection of one event to another and remember the story well.

Besides understanding stories, what else does sequencing help us do?

It trains us to do things in order, especially activities that need to be done step by step, like cooking, cleaning, or writing.

In the story of 'The Dog and the Bone', what happened after the dog found a big bone?

He immediately grabbed it in his mouth.

In 'The Thirsty Crow' story, what did the crow do after he saw a pot half-filled with water?

He tried to drink from it, but his beak wasn't long enough to reach the water.
