Lesson video

Hello everyone.

It's nice to see you.

I'm Miss Brooms and you have made a great choice in choosing an English lesson today.

We are going to be doing some fantastic learning and I will be guiding you through it.

So let's get started, shall we? Welcome to the lesson, Sequencing and making a story mountain, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." Your outcome for today is, I can sequence a story and use it to retell.

So by the end of the lesson, you should be able to sequence the story we are focusing on and retell it.

For this lesson, you'll need your looking eyes, listening ears, thinking brains, you'll need someone to talk to, you'll also need something to write with and something to stick with for your story mountain.

Let's get started.

For your key words, you are going to need to make sure you are keeping your ears out and ready.

Listening out for these words.

Now, if you haven't heard them before, that's okay.

We're going to be focusing on them throughout this lesson.

The first word is story mountain.

The next word is sequence.

We also have main events.

And finally, summary.

Let's go over our key words one more time.

Story mountain, sequence, main events, summary.

Wow, that was fantastic repeating.

Now, make sure you keep an ear out.

This lesson, we are going to be focusing on sequencing the events and adding sequencing words.

We are focusing on the story, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." So let's start with sequencing the events.

Hmm.

Have a little think, use your thinking brains.

What can you remember about the story of "The three Billy Goats Gruff?" Hmm, what can you remember? I can remember there were goats in a dry meadow and the little goat, the small goat crossed the bridge.

The medium goat also crossed the bridge, and the nasty troll tried to eat him.

The big billy goat crossed and was very brave.

I remember the troll being pushed into the river, and finally I can remember the goats being happy in the lush green meadow eating the tasty grass.

What can you remember? Hmm, what can you remember? Now, sequencing is placing events in order.

Sequence, that's one of our key words.

Hmm.

First, the billy goats were in the dry, brown meadow.

Then the small goat crossed the bridge.

Next, the medium sized goat tried to cross the bridge, but the troll didn't want him to cross.

First, then, next.

So the sequencing we're sequencing, we're placing events in order.

After that, the big billy goat stood up to the troll.

Suddenly the troll was pushed into the river.

Finally, the billy goats were happy in the lush green meadow.

After that, suddenly, finally.

Hmm.

I would like you to put the three events in the story in the correct sequence.

Which one goes first? A, B, or C.

Which order? Okay, is it A first then B, then C? Or is it in a different order? What order do you think it goes in? What order do you think it's in? I want you to try and think.

Put them in the correct sequence.

I'm going to show you in a moment.

Pause the video here for some thinking time.

Fantastic, great thinking.

I heard some great whispering.

Now let me show you which order they go in.

Ready? One, two, three.

Okay, if got this right, well done.

If you didn't, that's okay.

So the first one is C.

The goats were in the dry, brown meadow.

Then A, the medium goat is crossing, and finally, B, the troll gets pushed into the river.

Well done.

Now the story mountain, the mountain shape helps us remember the sequence of events.

Once upon a time, the goats were in a dry, brown meadow.

Then the small goat crossed the bridge.

Next, the medium sized cross, the bridge, medium sized goat crossed the bridge.

After that, the big billy goat crossed the bridge.

Suddenly the troll was pushed into the river, and finally the goats were in the lush green meadow.

So the mountain, the mountain shape, helps us remember the sequence of events from start to finish.

This is the beginning.

So the bottom is the beginning.

The top is the middle, and the other end, other end is the end.

So the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Now, when we create a story mountain, we only include the main events.

Main events.

Great repeating and what fantastic focus you all have.

So when we're creating a story mountain, we only include the main events.

The main events are the important things that happen in the story that make the story flow.

So there are lots of other moments in the story, but we do not need to put everything on our story mountain.

For example, his tiny hooves went trip trap, trip trap.

Now, which of the following is a main event? A, the youngest was the smallest.

B, the smallest billy goat went to cross the bridge first.

C, his medium hooves went trip trap, trip trap.

D, the billy goat knocked the troll into the river.

Which of the following is a main event? A, B, C, or D.

Pause the video here for some thinking time.

Great thinking everyone.

Okay, I'm going to show you, you can show as many letters as you think are correct, okay? So which of the following is a main event? A, the youngest was the smallest.

B, the smallest billy goat went to the bridge first.

C, his medium hooves went trip trap, trip trap.

D, the billy goat knocked the troll into the river.

The answers are B and D.

Well done if you got that correct.

If you didn't, that's okay.

Keep your focus.

I'm now going to sequence the events in the story.

Hmm.

I know that first, the three billy goats were in the dry, brown meadow.

Then the small goat crossed the bridge.

After the middle goat tried to cross and told the troll that he was too small to eat.

I know that next, the big billy goat was very brave and stood up to the troll, and then suddenly the troll got pushed into the river, and finally the three billy goats lived happily ever after in the lush green meadow.

I have sequenced my story in order.

Now, we are going to be sequencing the events using our story mountain.

So I would like you to use the illustrations to sequence the main events in the story onto a story mountain.

So some of you might have a story mountain in front of you, some of you might not.

That's okay.

If you have a story mountain, I would like you to use the illustrations to sequence the main events in the story onto your story mountain.

At the bottom it says, I have sequenced the main events of the story.

So use your illustrations and put them on your story mountain.

Do that now.

Well done, great focus and really great thinking about our main events.

Now, did you sequence the main events onto the story mountain correctly? Have a look at these pictures.

Did you do it correctly? I hope so.

If not, that's all right.

Keep trying.

Hmm.

If you did it correctly, give yourself a tick.

Well done.

Now we're going to be moving on to adding sequencing words.

So we're moving on now to adding sequencing words.

Now, sequencing words tell the reader when the event happened.

Hmm.

Once upon a time, the three goats were in a dry, brown meadow.

It is telling us that this happened once upon a time.

Then the small goat crossed the bridge.

Next, the medium goat crossed the bridge.

After that, the big billy goat crossed the bridge and stood up to the troll.

Suddenly the mean troll was pushed into the river.

Finally, the goats were happy in the green meadow.

Once upon a time, then, next, after that, suddenly, finally.

Well done, really great repeating.

Hmm.

Let's see if you can match the sequencing words to the picture.

Ooh, let's see if you can match the sequencing words to the picture.

Hmm, have a look at the pictures.

Which one is first? Then, suddenly.

What do you think? Let's see if you can match first.

Get your two fingers pointing.

See if we can match the first one.

One finger on first and the other one to the picture you think it is.

I'm going to show you one, two, three.

First the small goat crossed the bridge.

Well done if you got it.

Okay, let's focus on then.

Which one do you think happened then? Which one? Which one do you think it is? One finger on then the other finger pointing at the picture you think it is.

I'm going to show you in a moment.

Now that you've got then, I want you to show me suddenly as your last one.

Suddenly with one finger and the other.

Let me see you pointing.

Good job.

Okay, let's do then, ready pointing.

I'm going to show you one, two, three.

Then the medium goat crossed the bridge, and suddenly the big goat tried to cross the bridge and stood up to the mean troll.

Well done if you got that correct.

So those are our sequencing words.

Now, some sentences, some sentences start with sequencing words and some do not.

Have a listen.

Use your listening ears.

First, it was the turn of the smallest goat.

The smallest goat was quick and nimble.

Suddenly the troll emerged with a furious roar.

With a leap, he crossed the bridge and reached the other side.

I want to know if you can identify the sequencing words.

Have a look.

Have a little look and try and remember what I've just read out to you.

I'm going to read them once more, and then I would like you to turn to someone next to you and have a little talk, have a little discussion and tell them the sequencing words that you've spotted.

I will read it quickly.

First, it was the turn of the smallest goat.

The smallest goat was quick and nimble.

Suddenly, the troll emerged with a furious roar.

With a leap, he crossed the bridge and reached the other side.

Tell the person near to you the sequencing words that you can hear and see.

Off you go.

Pause the video here.

Oh my goodness.

What great discussions you've been having.

Fantastic.

The sequencing words are first and suddenly.

First.

Suddenly.

Great repeating.

Hmm, have a look.

Which of these words are sequencing words? A, enormous.

B, after that.

C, suddenly.

D, who.

So which of these words are sequencing words? A, enormous.

B, after that.

C, suddenly.

D, who.

Show me on your fingers ones that you think are sequencing words.

I will give you some thinking time.

Pause the video here.

Fantastic.

Now, show me on your fingers.

Do you think that the sequencing words are, which of these words are sequencing words? A, enormous.

B, after that.

C, suddenly.

and D, who.

I'm going to show you now.

Get ready.

The sequencing words are B, after that, and C, suddenly.

Well done if you've got that.

I am now going to add sequencing words to my story mountain that I made earlier.

We have the words suddenly, after that, then, finally, once upon a time, and next.

So I'm going to use these words to help me retell the story with storytelling language.

Hmm.

I know I'm going to start with once upon a time.

Once upon a time.

Okay, once upon a time.

Once is spelled O-N-C-E.

Once upon, U-P-O-N, upon, the word a, time.

T-I-M-E, time.

Once upon a time.

I'm now going to cross off this word so that I know that I've already used these words, so I know that I've already used it.

So I'm crossing off once upon a time.

Once upon a time, the three billy goats lived in a dry, brown meadow.

Ooh, then the small goat decided to cross the bridge.

I'm going to use the word then.

I'm going to sound it out, then.

T-H-E-N, then.

Okay? Hmm, next, the medium goat try to cross the bridge, and the troll wanted to eat him.

So I'm going to use the story, the sequencing word, next, for my story.

Okay, next.

N-E-X-T, next.

So I have once upon a time, then, next, and I'm going to cross off next.

After that, the big, brave billy goat stood up to the troll.

So I'm going to use the sequencing words after that.

After that.

After.

After A-F-T-E-R.

After that.

T-H-A-T, after that.

And cross it off.

Hmm, suddenly, the mean troll was pushed into the river.

Suddenly the mean troll was pushed into the river.

Suddenly, spelled S-U-D-D-E-N-L-Y.

E is spelled with a Y, E, the sound with a Y.

Okay, suddenly, I'm crossing it off.

And finally.

Finally, the three billy goats were happy in the lush green meadow.

So I'm going to write finally.

Finally.

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y.

E again, spelled with a Y.

Finally.

And there are all of my sequencing words on my story mountain.

I'm finished.

Yay.

The next thing I would like you to do is add those sequencing words to your story mountain.

You've already put your illustrations.

Now, I would like you to put your sequencing words.

Add them in.

The sequencing words that you have are, suddenly, after that, then, finally, once upon a time, next.

Do that now.

Okay, let's see if you've got them.

Ready? Once upon a time, then, next, after that, suddenly, finally.

Can you now use your story mountain to tell the story using sequencing language? I've already done it a few times across this lesson.

Can you use your story mountain to tell the story using sequencing language? I would like you to turn someone near to you and tell them, if you don't have anyone near to you, I would like you to whisper it to your finger using your story, using your story mountain and your sequencing language.

Off you go.

Pause the video here.

Okay, well done.

That was really, really great.

I heard some fantastic sequencing language there.

Now, if you added the sequencing words to your story mountain, and you've told someone near to you, or whispered it to your finger, can you give yourself a tick.

Well done.

Now to finish up our lesson of sequencing and making a story mountain, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff," let's have a think of everything that we've looked at this lesson.

So we've looked at how retelling a story helps us to remember the main events.

We now know that story mountains map out the beginning, the middle, and the end of a story.

And that only the most important events in a story need to be on a story mountain.

Using words such as first and after that, help the reader to follow the story.

To follow the story better.

And we've been using sequencing language to do so.

We know that story mountains can be used to retell the story aloud.

You have done some brilliant focusing, some great looking, listening and thinking.

I want you to give yourself a big pat on the back and say, ♪ One, two, three, well done me.

♪ Fantastic.

You guys have been absolutely great.

I will see you, hopefully, next time, bye.
