Master story sequencing! Our worksheet helps students order events and improve reading comprehension.

Put the events from the story, Antarctic Journal, in the correct order. 1 The author goes to Litchfield Island by inflatable boat. 2 The author visits the penguin rookery. The penguins check her out and one takes off with her hat. 3 She watches the penguins carry one rock at a time to work on their rookery. 4 The author and her friend, Carl, decide to try eating krill. The tiny creatures do not have their own taste. 5 The author can't sleep so she climbs the trail. She hears a loud CRACK and falls through the crevasse. 6 She slowly makes it back to the Palmer station after carefully walking for 3 hours. 7 Carl and the author go see the green flash. 8 The author returns home with a penguin egg. How does the author organize the events in her journal? sequentially by date scientifically by creature systematically from east to west geographically by latitude and longitude Which of these phrases from the journal does NOT help you understand the sequence of events? earlier today twilight falls it was three in the morning three miles from Palmer Island Why does the author include the phrases, "after a few deep breaths" and "it was an hour before" in the journal? to create a sense of terror in the reader to show how metpahors can create a sense of suspense to demonstrate that she is not an experienced climber to show the sequence of events and the passage of time
