The lesson I plan on presenting on Thursday deals with sequencing a story. I have chosen to read a folktale called Whang Doodle. Prior to reading this story we planned a party event. The purpose of this was to help them see that some things have to be done in a certain order, just like when reading a story. Also, prior to reading we read a simple story that they were all familiar with, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We practiced sequencing the story while using the active board. Lastly, before reading Whang Doodle we completed a KWL on what they knew about folktales. Once that was completed I gave a brief presentation on folktales.
I read the story more than once. I even placed this in our reading corner. Students were required to retell the folktale. Then present it to the class. Remember the key to a folktale is that throughout generations the story changes; so if the story isn't exact that's fine!

Candace, I like using Goldilocks and the 3 bears for sequencing. Picture sorts to put in the beginning, middle and the end are a great way to hit story recall too. It works well with animla and plant life cycles too.
