After some discussion/explanation, I show them what a timeline looks like by creating one on the board of "A day in the life of a Ms. Zuckerman's." Explain how the timeline is showing a sequence of events and is in the order of beginning-middle-end. Realy to the students that in this particular story the timeline is a visual aide of an arrangement of actions and can be used to summarize a story.
Direct the students to turn to page 25 of their novels. Specify in the last paragraph portion that begins Wilbur's planned day, "Breakfast at six-thirty."
Explain to the students that they will be creating a timeline, just as I did on the board, but this time it will be of Wilbur's planned day from pg. 25-27. Distribute to the children a long piece of paper sectioned off into squares to act as the timeline. In each square, the students will illustrate and write a short description/sentence of what is happening to Wilbur in that specific time of the sequence. Remember to remind them that showing the time is essential and that the events of Wilbur's day must be from beginning-end
