To solve this "Order Me Up" worksheet, we need to arrange the events from the movie *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial* in the correct chronological order (from first to last).

Here is the step-by-step logic to determine the correct sequence:

1. Arrival: The story begins when E.T.'s spaceship leaves him behind. He wanders into a suburban neighborhood and looks into a house window. This matches: *"The alien boy peers in the Cooper's at their front door."*
2. First Contact: Elliott discovers E.T. in the backyard shed. They meet for the first time. This matches: *"Elliott finds E.T. in his back yard."*
3. Hiding & Bonding: Elliott hides E.T. in his closet. They start to connect emotionally and physically (the finger touch). This matches: *"Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house."* (Note: Usually, he sneaks him out to take him outside or to the garage, but early on, he hides him in the room/closet. Let's look for a better fit for the next immediate step. Actually, after finding him, Elliott hides him in the closet. Then they bond. Let's look at the options again. *"Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house"* usually happens when he takes him to the garage or outside to call home. Let's hold this thought.)
* Let's re-evaluate the early steps.
* Step 1: Alien peers in window.
* Step 2: Elliott finds E.T. in backyard.
* Step 3: Elliott hides E.T. in his closet/room. The option *"Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house"* might refer to taking him to the garage later, or it might be the act of moving him around. Let's look for *"Elliott shows E.T. his toys"* or similar bonding. Ah, there is *"Elliott introduces E.T. to his toys"*? No, that's not an option. There is *"Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house"*.
* Let's look at the middle section. E.T. gets sick because he is separated from his people. Elliott also gets sick. This matches: *"Elliott becomes ill like E.T."*
* Before getting sick, they have fun. They ride bikes. This matches: *"Elliott rides bike with E.T."* Wait, the famous flight is later. But they do ride bikes together.
* Let's look at the government arrival. Men in hazmat suits take over the house. This happens after E.T. gets sick and scientists discover him. This matches: *"Men in white suits enter the house."*
* Before the men enter, E.T. appears dead. This matches: *"E.T. appears lifeless."*
* After appearing dead, E.T. comes back to life because his ship is near. This matches: *"E.T. comes back to life."*
* Then they escape. Elliott and Michael steal the van. This matches: *"Elliott and Michael steal a van."*
* They go to the woods to meet the ship. The police chase them. This matches: *"Chase scene with police cars."*
* They reach the clearing. The ship lands. This matches: *"A bright light shines down on the children and the Cooper's."*
* E.T. says goodbye. This matches: *"E.T. says goodbye to Elliott."*
* E.T. leaves. This matches: *"E.T. goes home."*
* After E.T. leaves, Elliott is sad but okay. Gertie asks if he will come back. This matches: *"Gertie asks if E.T. will return."*
* Finally, Elliott sees the rainbow/ship in the sky. This matches: *"Elliott sees a rainbow in the sky."*

Let's refine the beginning.
1. The alien boy peers in the Cooper's at their front door. (Start of movie)
2. Elliott finds E.T. in his back yard. (Next night)
3. Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house. (This likely refers to Elliott trying to move E.T. around without his mom knowing, or taking him to the garage. It fits best here before the deep bonding/sickness arc). *Correction*: Actually, a very common early scene is Elliott hiding E.T. in the closet. Is there an option for that? No. "Sneak out of the house" might be when he takes him to the forest to call home? That happens later. Let's look at *"Elliott rides bike with E.T."* That happens during the montage of them growing close.
Let's try this order for the first half:
- Alien peers in window.
- Elliott finds E.T. in backyard.
- Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house (Maybe this is when he takes him to the garage? Or just moving him?). Let's look at the other options.
- *"Elliott becomes ill like E.T."* -> This happens after they are connected.
- *"E.T. appears lifeless."* -> Happens after being taken by scientists.

Let's look at the specific option: *"Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house."* In the movie, Elliott often tries to hide E.T. from his mom. He sneaks him downstairs. This happens early.

Let's look at *"Elliott rides bike with E.T."* This is part of the "bonding montage" where they play games, watch TV, etc. This happens *before* E.T. gets sick.

So, early order:
1. Alien peers in window.
2. Elliott finds E.T. in backyard.
3. Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house (hiding him/moving him secretly).
4. Elliott rides bike with E.T. (Bonding phase).
5. Elliott becomes ill like E.T. (Connection causes sickness when E.T. weakens).

Middle Order (The Crisis):
6. Men in white suits enter the house. (Scientists quarantine the house).
7. E.T. appears lifeless. (He dies temporarily due to separation).
8. E.T. comes back to life. (His ship returns, reviving him).

Late Order (The Escape):
9. Elliott and Michael steal a van. (To rescue E.T. from the scientists).
10. Chase scene with police cars. (They flee through the town).
11. A bright light shines down on the children and the Cooper's. (The ship arrives in the forest).
12. E.T. says goodbye to Elliott. (Emotional farewell).
13. E.T. goes home. (He boards the ship).

Ending:
14. Gertie asks if E.T. will return. (In the car/house after he leaves).
15. Elliott sees a rainbow in the sky. (Final shot, implying E.T. made it home safely).

Let's double-check the "Sneak out" vs "Ride bike".
- Elliott finds E.T.
- He hides him in the closet.
- He talks to him.
- He takes him outside to the forest to try to call home? That's later.
- He sneaks him downstairs to the kitchen? Yes.
- The bike riding happens during the fun montage.
- So "Sneak out" (meaning sneak around/hide) likely comes before the full-blown fun montage. Or, does "Sneak out of the house" refer to the night they go to the forest to contact the ship? If so, that would be *after* the bonding but *before* the sickness.
- If "Sneak out" = going to forest to call home:
1. Find E.T.
2. Ride bike/Bond
3. Sneak out to forest (Call home)
4. Get sick (because connection is strained? No, he gets sick because E.T. is dying).

Actually, the sequence "Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house" is a bit ambiguous. However, looking at standard plot summaries for these worksheets:
1. Alien looks in window.
2. Elliott finds E.T.
3. Elliott hides/sneaks E.T. (often described as sneaking him around).
4. They bond (Ride bike).
5. E.T. gets sick/Elliott gets sick.
6. Scientists arrive (Men in white suits).
7. E.T. dies (Lifeless).
8. E.T. revives (Comes back to life).
9. Kids steal van.
10. Police chase.
11. Ship arrives (Bright light).
12. Goodbye.
13. E.T. leaves.
14. Gertie asks question.
15. Rainbow.

This seems the most logical flow.

Final Ordered List:

1. The alien boy peers in the Cooper's at their front door.
2. Elliott finds E.T. in his back yard.
3. Elliott tries to sneak E.T. out of the house. (Interpreted as hiding/moving him secretly in the early days).
4. Elliott rides bike with E.T. (Bonding).
5. Elliott becomes ill like E.T. (Sympathetic connection).
6. Men in white suits enter the house. (Quarantine).
