SEQUENCE WORDS
If you choose to have students explain their inventions or write directions for their inventions you may need the following sequencing words. This will help the ESL or the ELL student be successful. This is posted on a wall in my room. Students are welcome to add words to the list. Whenever a student needs a sequence word, they know where to look, and they know that they can experiment with some higher-level vocabulary.
