Event Sequencing

In this worksheet, students review eight major plot events from A Good Man Is Hard to Find and arrange them in the correct chronological order. Each event must be matched to its corresponding sequence box, helping students reconstruct the narrative flow of the story. This exercise reinforces comprehension of cause-and-effect relationships within the plot and encourages close reading for detail. It also helps students understand how small choices and foreshadowed actions contribute to the story’s tragic conclusion. Sequencing the events strengthens analytical skills and understanding of literary structure.
