  of organizing information. Time order gives
  events in chronological order or the order in
  time in which they happened. Events in a time
  order passage can be shown on a timeline.

• Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great American
  leader. He was born on January 15, 1929, in
  Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from high school
  in 1944 at age 15. He finished college in 1948.
  In 1954, he moved to Montgomery Alabama, where he
  began his fight for Civil Rights. In 1963, he led
  the Civil rights March on Washington, D.C. The
  next year, congress finally made segregation
  illegal. On April 4, 1968, he was killed in
  Memphis, Tennessee.
• PLACE THE MAJOR EVENTS INTO A TIMELINE
• List the SIGNAL WORDS

Chronological-YOU TRY

• For the story provided you need to
• -highlight signal words
• -chart the major events and list the key words
  in the graphic organizer

6
Sequential

• In this type of order, a sequence of actions is
  described. It instructs the reader on how to do
  something. It is basically a set of directions.
  Owner's manuals and cookbooks are organized in
  this pattern.

Sequential-example

• The first step in redesigning your closet is take
  everything out and sort through it. Anything you
  havent worn in over a year should be given to
  charity. Check garments for wear and tear. Take
  care of anything that needs mending. The second
  step is to install a closet organizer. Choose one
  that will hold the different types of garments in
  your wardrobe. The third step is to put items in
  the closet so that those you wear most often are
  easy to access. The final step is to stay
  organized. Color coding is always a fun option
  when organizing your closet. Good luck!

Sequential- PEMDAS(waitmath during language
arts? Thats CRAZY!)
STEP 1 3 6 x (5 4) 3 - 7  3 6 x 9 3 - 7 Parentheses
STEP 2 3 6 x 9 3 - 7 3 54 3 - 7 Multiplication
STEP 3 3 54 3 - 7 3 18 - 7 Division
STEP 4 3 18 - 7 21-7 Addition
STEP 5 21-7 14 Subtraction

Sequential- You Try!

• Write and solve this expression using the signal
  words and Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
• 9 - 5 (8 - 3) x 2 6
• Challenge? Try this one
• 32 x 5 4
