Sequencing Paragraph - Baking Cookies - ESL worksheet by mebecker - Free Printable

I need to help the student put these sentences in the correct order to make a logical story about baking cookies.

Let me think through this step by step:

The sentences are:
1. "Then, I put the dough in the oven to cook."
2. "Last, I wrap them up and give them to my friends."
3. "Then, I go home and get a bowl, spoons, and turn on the oven."
4. "I like to make cookies for my friends."
5. "As you can see, I love baking cookies for my friends and my friend like eating them."
6. "Next, I mix everything together in a bowl to make the cookie dough."
7. "First, I go to the store and buy all the ingredients."
8. "Then, when they are cooked I take them out of the oven."

Now let me arrange them in logical order:

Step 1: Start with an introduction - "I like to make cookies for my friends." (This sets up why we're doing this)

Step 2: "First, I go to the store and buy all the ingredients." (This is the first action - getting ingredients)

Step 3: "Then, I go home and get a bowl, spoons, and turn on the oven." (After getting ingredients, you prepare at home)

Step 4: "Next, I mix everything together in a bowl to make the cookie dough." (Mixing comes after getting supplies ready)

Step 5: "Then, I put the dough in the oven to cook." (Baking comes after mixing)

Step 6: "Then, when they are cooked I take them out of the oven." (Taking out after baking)

Step 7: "Last, I wrap them up and give them to my friends." (Final step - giving to friends)

Step 8: "As you can see, I love baking cookies for my friends and my friend like eating them." (Conclusion)

Wait, let me reconsider. Looking at the clue words:
- "First" should come early
- "Next" comes after "first"
- "Then" appears multiple times
- "Last" should be near the end

Let me reorganize more carefully:

1. "I like to make cookies for my friends." (Introduction)
2. "First, I go to the store and buy all the ingredients." (First step)
3. "Then, I go home and get a bowl, spoons, and turn on the oven." (Second step)
4. "Next, I mix everything together in a bowl to make the cookie dough." (Third step)
5. "Then, I put the dough in the oven to cook." (Fourth step)
6. "Then, when they are cooked I take them out of the oven." (Fifth step)
7. "Last, I wrap them up and give them to my friends." (Sixth step)
8. "As you can see, I love baking cookies for my friends and my friend like eating them." (Conclusion)

This makes logical sense as a sequence of events!

1. I like to make cookies for my friends.
2. First, I go to the store and buy all the ingredients.
