Lesson details
Key learning points
- Sequencing means putting the events in the right order so they make sense.

Keywords
Sequence - putting things in a specific order
Retell - to summarise a story in our own words
Fronted adverbial of time - a sentence starter that tells the reader when something happens
Common misconception
Pupils may find it hard to sequence all the stills from memory.
Allow pupils to watch the animation a few times, so that the story is clear in their heads. Pupils could work in pairs or small groups to sequence the images at their tables on sugar paper.
You may wish to play some drama activities where the pupils act out the story to check their knowledge.
