Retell a class event with first, next, last
When to use this goal
For young writers who list events from a shared experience in random order or tell only the last thing. Present levels should show the student can write two or three sentences; the target is order with time words.
- Baseline
- Score two recounts of shared events, each row 0 to 3. Shared events make order easy to check because the teacher knows what happened. Note whether the student can order the photos before writing.
- Tips
- Take photos during the event so the student can use them as a plan. Send the recount home; families can ask about the event. Move to recounts of personal events the teacher did not see once order is reliable.
- Limits
- Photos make ordering much easier; record whether they were used. Three events is a short sequence. Spelling and handwriting are not scored.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, after a shared class event (such as a cooking activity, a walk, or a science experiment), given photos of three moments, the student will write a recount with at least one sentence for each of three events in the order they happened, starting the sentences with first, next, and last independently, earning a score of at least 7 out of 9 on a 9-point sequenced recount rubric, on 3 of 4 consecutive scored recounts, as measured by a defined scoring rubric collected every two weeks.
Baseline: 2 out of 9 rubric points.
