Directions Answers
1. Each of the 7 pages has a different paragraph, so cut
the cards based on the paragraph(s) you want students ● Paragraph 1: C, E, B, D, A, F
to use. Laminate the cards for more durability.
2. Students should put the paragraphs in the most coherent ● Paragraph 2: D, A, E, B, F, C
order, using transitions and logic to determine how to structure
the paragraph.
● Paragraph 3: F, C, A, D, B, E
3. Options for use:
a. Small groups and intervention: The paragraphs are at
● Paragraph 4: E, A, D, F, B, C
different reading levels. For example, Paragraph 2 is fairly
easy while Paragraph 3 is more difficult and Paragraph 7

levels allow teachers to use these cards for different small
groups and interventions. ● Paragraph 6: A, F, C, B, E, D
b. Entrance and Exit Tickets: This is probably my favorite
option! Students work in teams or groups to order ● Paragraph 7: E, A, F, B, D, C

c. Sponge Activity: Build on to your exit ticket by having
students complete one paragraph, shuffle it back up, and
pass it to the next group. This is a good activity for when you
have an awkward amount of time left at the end of the block.
