How To Use Time Connectives In Traditional Story Lesson Plan for 2nd Grade Example Students

Topic: How to use time connectives in traditional stories

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to identify and use time connectives correctly in a traditional story.

Begin the lesson by asking the students to share a traditional story that they are familiar with.
As the students share, write their responses on chart paper, making sure to include any time connectives that they mention.
Once all the students have shared, review the chart with the class and ask them to identify any time connectives that were mentioned.

Introduce the concept of time connectives to the students. Explain that these are words and phrases that are used to connect events and actions in a story and help us to understand the order in which things happen.
Provide the students with a handout with examples of time connectives. Go through the list together as a class, discussing the meaning and purpose of each time connective.
Example: "Before long, the sun began to rise." This sentence uses the time connective "before long" to indicate that the action of the sun rising happens sooner than expected.
Have the students work in pairs to create their own story using time connectives. Give them a few minutes to think of a story and then have them share their stories with the class.

Provide the students with a traditional story, such as a fairy tale.
Have the students work in small groups to identify and label the time connectives in the story.
Have the groups share their discoveries with the class and discuss any differences or questions they have.

Have the students choose a traditional story of their own, such as a folktale or a legend.
Have the students write their story using time connectives to indicate the order of events.
Have the students illustrate their story and present it to the class.
