Study Notes
Understanding Sequence in Informational Texts
- Sequence refers to the order of events or information.
- Different types of texts present sequences in various ways.
- Informational texts, like science textbooks, can present information in an order based on understanding various scientific topics, not always in a story-like beginning, middle, end pattern.
- Chronological sequence details events in the order they happened.
- Look for phrases like "first this happens, then..." or dates.
- Instructional sequence presents information as step-by-step instructions.
- Look for numbered instructions or clear steps.
- Foundational sequence builds upon previous information, assuming prior knowledge.
- Look for phrases like "In the previous chapter...," or "In our next topic..."
- Table of contents can indicate order, especially if the chapters include years (chronological) or instructions (instructional).
- Analyzing the first and last paragraphs helps understand how the information connects to previous or upcoming topics.
- In online texts, use "See Also" links to see related content and assess the source's position in a sequence.
Types of Sequencing
- Chronological Sequence: Events arranged in the order they occurred, common in history texts.
- Instructional Sequence: Steps for completing a task, like recipes or manuals, clearly numbered.
- Foundational Sequence: Building upon previous knowledge, often found in math or science materials.
