What comes First and What comes Next
"Now, I have here the story divided into parts. I want you to arrange it by following the correct
sequence of the story. The first volunteer should say first "what comes first was..." And then the

story until it reaches the last student. Now, shall we start recalling what comes first then what
comes next, Class?"
