Chrono Cloze

Students complete a short story by filling in blanks with the correct sequence signal words from a word bank (e.g., “first,” “next,” “then”). Afterward, they write a short paragraph using the same words to describe their own real-life event in order. This cloze-style activity reinforces reading comprehension, temporal understanding, and structured writing. It helps students internalize how time-order transitions create narrative flow.
