I can see the third section of the worksheet clearly now. This section asks students to add a time and sequence word or phrase to the beginning of each sentence to order the events.
The sentences are:
1. ___ I went on a camping trip with my family.
2. ___ we went for a long hike in the woods.
3. ___ we got back, I found a raccoon eating the candy bar my little sister left in our tent.
I need to determine the logical chronological order and add appropriate time/sequence words.
Looking at these sentences, they describe a sequence of events during a camping trip:
- First, the family goes on a camping trip (this is the starting point).
- Then, they go for a long hike in the woods (this happens during the trip).
- Finally, when they get back, they find a raccoon eating candy (this happens at the end of the hike/trip).
So the appropriate time/sequence words would be:
1. First, I went on a camping trip with my family.
2. Then, we went for a long hike in the woods.
3. After we got back, I found a raccoon eating the candy bar my little sister left in our tent.
(Note: The third sentence already has "we got back" which implies "after," so "After" would be appropriate.)
Let me now summarize the complete solution.
Solution:
Section 2: Number the sentences in each group to put the events in order
Group 1 (Finding the ball):
1. First, we looked in my room.
2. Then, we searched Sam's room.
3. We finally found our ball in the backyard.
Group 2 (Learning guitar):
1. I started taking guitar lessons last year.
2. After just a few days, I could play some simple songs.
3. Then, I learned to play some simple songs.
4. Now I can play the guitar pretty well.
Group 3 (Weather changes):
1. Dad watered the garden this morning.
2. The sky filled with storm clouds while he was watering.
3. By this afternoon, it was raining hard.
Section 3: Add a time and sequence word or phrase to the beginning of each sentence
1. First, I went on a camping trip with my family.
2. Then, we went for a long hike in the woods.
3. After we got back, I found a raccoon eating the candy bar my little sister left in our tent.
This completes the worksheet by properly ordering events using time and sequence words as requested.
