Description

As you read The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash, put the event boxes in the order that they are told in the story. Click and drag the event boxes to the numbered positions in the snake.

Note to Teacher - Many of the events in this story are told in reverse order. The story begins with one of the final events. The cause of the event is told, followed by the cause of the second event, and so on. This reversal of order may create confusion, therefore using cause and effect to order the events can be helpful.
