story will stay in order.
Think of an incident that has happened in your life. You could write about
the day your dog got lost, the day you fell and got hurt, or even a day
you went to a special place.
Now write out the important parts in order. You do not need to write in a
complete sentence (although you may do that if you choose). You can
simply write out a phrase to tell what happened in order.
For example:
A. I let the dog outside and he ran away.
B. I made signs.
C. Mom and I put signs all over the neighborhood.
D. A woman called our house. She found him.
Now you try! Think of an incident in your life and write each event in the
incident in order.
A. _______________________________________________________________
B. _______________________________________________________________
C. _______________________________________________________________
D. _______________________________________________________________
When youve completed the incident sequence above, write out your
incident story in order according to your outline. You can use another
sheet of paper, or write on the back of this paper.
