  • Students can use the graphic organizers to sequence important events from a book that has a flashback.
  • Students can use the graphic organizers to write directions to a favorite game or sequence part of their day.
  • Students can use the graphic organizers as a prewriting activity to help organize their thoughts before writing a fiction or nonfiction piece.
  • Students can sequence the events in a story, then take out 2 events. Students should trade pages, and try to fill in the missing events.
