Harry the Dirty Dog (Sequencing Skill)

Content Objective
Students will demonstrate an understanding of sequence of events.
Language Objective
Students will use sequential language – first, next, then, last – and specific vocabulary (e.g. scrubbing brush, gave a bath) to retell the story.

(Warm-up)

watching online video of actor Betty White reading the story, “Harry the Dirty Dog” at

(Guided Practice-whole group activity)



Materials:
ü  a set of 4 pictures & 4 sentence strips enlarged















ü      Have students place pictures in sequential order.
ü      Have students read each sentence together
(because some of the words might be hard for 1st grade ELLs to read)



(Independent Practice–pair work)
Materials:
ü                  A set of 4 sentence strips & 4 pictures in a zip bag
ü                  Graphic Organizer
ü                  Popsicle sticks that say “I’m a teacher!”

 

 










ü                  Give a pair of students a graphic organizer and 4 sentence strips & four pictures.
ü                  Have them collaborate to place pictures in sequential order.
ü                  Have one student play a teacher; the other, a student.
             T: “A person who gets a teacher stick will be a teacher.”
                 “Teachers are going to take out a piece of sentence strip out of the bag & ask your partner:”What does it say?”  “If your partner has trouble reading the sentence, you will help your partner read it.”
                 “Then, you are going to ask another question:”Where does it go?”
ü                  Have them collaborate to place sentence strips in sequential order
(Teacher will monitor if students are working together.)


üCheck the order of the sentences in a whole group before students glue their sentences on the graphic organizer.



ü       Have each student retell the story looking at those four pictures on the board.
(Lead him/her to use sequential words, First, Next, Then, and Last.)
While a student is retelling, other students are listening to him/her in order to evaluate his/her story using a speaking rubric.

I am sure that this web is well-organized including many useful information for teachers, particularly in taking care of little ones of kindergarten age or elementary studuents. I do prefer this method beacuse many student canunderstand more easily thanks to the logical teaching approach with each appropriate illustration.

  5. ESOL teachers usually have to make up their own worksheet, adding illustrations to aid in understanding the content. Thanks for sharing your work. I know you put a lot of thoughts and time in to doing this, and it's great that you are sharing for the benefit of all of ESOL teachers out there!
