Integrate History and applied literacy...

Sequence leads to timelines
Sequence leads to plot

Plot = what happens in a story
Timeline = events that took place

Plots and timelines can be connected and related

Similar reading concepts such as these also appear within social studies/history lessons.  These are what good thinkers do.  Readers are thinkers.  Writers are thinkers.  Historians are thinkers.  Scientists are thinkers.

 SEQUENCE, TIMELINES, CAUSE/EFFECT, THEME, CHARACTERS, MAIN EVENTS/MINOR DETAILS, SIMILARITIES/DIFFERENCES, SETTINGS/LOCATIONS, SUMMARIZING/PARAPHRASING, INQUIRY/QUESTIONING, DRAWING CONCLUSIONS, MAKING CONNECTIONS
