III. Sequencing

1. How Can We Use Sequencing to Write About Preparing a Cheese Sandwich?

It’s important to be able to tell events in chronological sequence so that we can remember what we read and share with others. Sequencing improves our reading and writing and helps us express our ideas in a more organized way. In order to write a recipe, we must follow the right steps in the right order. To prepare a cheese sandwich, we must proceed in the correct order (first, second, third, etc.). So, in order to write an essay on ‘how to make a cheese sandwich’ we use sequencing.

Example:

Step 1:

Use butter with the help of a butter knife or the flat back of a spoon and spread the butter on each slice of bread.

Step 2:

Place the cheese slices or shredded cheese between the two pieces of bread.

Step 3:

Inside the two slices of bread, place the chopped veggies such as onion, tomato, avocado, cucumber, and lettuce.

Step 4:

With the help of an adult, gently press the pieces together, place the sandwich inside a sandwich machine, or cook it on a pan, and then wait for the cheese to melt. Make sure the pieces of bread don’t burn.

Step 5:

Now add tomato ketchup on your plate and enjoy your food.
