Sequencing means to put
something in order. We use words such as first, next, and last to help us when we are putting things in order. We can also use numbers (1, 2, 3) to
sequence things. Sequencing refers to arranging items or events in a
particular order.

Mrs. Jansen stood at the
head of the line and gave her students their directions
before boarding the bus. It was the first part of the
class field trip. At precisely 8:00 a.m. they would all
be on board so they could go to the museum at the state
capital.
The schedule said they would arrive at 9:30 a.m. and
divide into three equal groups for different tours. At
lunch time they would take a break to eat and look in
the gift shop. The remaining hour would be spent going
back to look at exhibits individually. At 2:00 p.m. the
bus would leave to go back to the school.

The Red Mulberry species
of tree grows purple fruit that birds and some people
enjoy. However, the berries are not the only useful part
of this tree.
Choctaw Indians knew how to make cloaks from the bark of
the Red Mulberry tree. The stringy bark would be dried
first. Then they would beat it and bleach it. Finally,
they would spin and weave the strong fibers. After all
that hard work, they could finish making a cloak. Who
would have thought there could be clothing made from
tree bark?

sentences in order.
