To Roymond Johnson
Re Mr Oliver K Woodman
Our family currently on vacation picked
up the above-named person in what I thought
was a misguided goodwill gesture Little did I
know how lucky that gesture would be
Last night we pitched tents in the Redwood
forest I woke at 300 AM to screams of
terror Bears( Your friend managed to
frighten them away He saved our lives
With the deepest and most sincere
gratitude we intend to deliver him to the
doorstep of Tameka Schwartz within the next
two days

Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K
Woodman the clues are the dates at the top of each letter
The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also

Formal and Informal Language
Formal language sounds serious and polite The words are exact and carefully chosen Informal language sounds more relaxed It is how friends talk to each other
Written language can be formal or informal In The Journey of Oliver K Woodman some of the letters are informal and sound like people speaking Some examples are words like hung out the guys and poor fella Other letters use more formal language such as distinct pleasure

railroads in the east with California The mail
moved faster than ever
A Postmark from the Heart
Each year around February 14 mail from around the world takes a detour This mail

Re Mr Oliver K Woodman
Our family currently on vacation picked
up the above-named person in what I thought
was a misguided goodwill gesture Little did I
know how lucky that gesture would be
Last night we pitched tents in the Redwood
forest I woke at 300 AM to screams of
terror Bears( Your friend managed to
frighten them away He saved our lives
With the deepest and most sincere
gratitude we intend to deliver him to the

Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K
Woodman the clues are the dates at the top of each letter
The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also

How to Analyze the Text Use these pages to learn about Sequence of Events and Formal and Informal Language Then read The Journey of Oliver K Woodman again to apply what you learned
Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K
Woodman the clues are the dates at the top of each letter
The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also
help you describe how each event builds on earlier parts of
the story

sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K
Woodman the clues are the dates at the top of each letter
The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed

Re Mr Oliver K Woodman
Our family currently on vacation picked
up the above-named person in what I thought
was a misguided goodwill gesture Little did I
know how lucky that gesture would be
Last night we pitched tents in the Redwood
forest I woke at 300 AM to screams of
terror Bears( Your friend managed to
frighten them away He saved our lives
With the deepest and most sincere
gratitude we intend to deliver him to the

How to Analyze the Text Use these pages to learn about Sequence of Events and Formal and Informal Language Then read The Journey of Oliver K Woodman again to apply what you learned
Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K
Woodman the clues are the dates at the top of each letter
The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also
help you describe how each event builds on earlier parts of
the story

Formal and Informal Language
Formal language sounds serious and polite The words are exact and carefully chosen Informal language sounds more relaxed It is how friends talk to each other
Written language can be formal or informal In The Journey of Oliver K Woodman some of the letters are informal and sound like people speaking Some examples are words like hung out the guys and poor fella Other letters use more formal language such as distinct pleasure

sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K

The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also

The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K

The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also

Last night we pitched tents in the Redwood

Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K

The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also
help you describe how each event builds on earlier parts of
the story

The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed

Re Mr Oliver K Woodman
Our family currently on vacation picked
up the above-named person in what I thought
was a misguided goodwill gesture Little did I
know how lucky that gesture would be
Last night we pitched tents in the Redwood
forest I woke at 300 AM to screams of
terror Bears( Your friend managed to
frighten them away He saved our lives
With the deepest and most sincere
gratitude we intend to deliver him to the
doorstep of Tameka Schwartz within the next
two days
Gratefully yours

The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed

Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K

The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also

How to Analyze the Text Use these pages to learn about Sequence of Events and Formal and Informal Language Then read The Journey of Oliver K Woodman again to apply what you learned
Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K
Woodman the clues are the dates at the top of each letter
The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also
help you describe how each event builds on earlier parts of
the story

Formal and Informal Language
Formal language sounds serious and polite The words are exact and carefully chosen Informal language sounds more relaxed It is how friends talk to each other
Written language can be formal or informal In The Journey of Oliver K Woodman some of the letters are informal and sound like people speaking Some examples are words like hung out the guys and poor fella Other letters use more formal language such as distinct pleasure

How to Analyze the Text Use these pages to learn about Sequence of Events and Formal and Informal Language Then read The Journey of Oliver K Woodman again to apply what you learned
Sequence of Events
The order in which things happen in a story is called the
sequence of events Stories often have clues to help
readers follow the sequence At times the clues are words
such as first next and last In The Journey of Oliver K
Woodman the clues are the dates at the top of each letter
The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also
help you describe how each event builds on earlier parts of
the story
First Event
Second Event

Formal and Informal Language
Formal language sounds serious and polite The words are exact and carefully chosen Informal language sounds more relaxed It is how friends talk to each other
Written language can be formal or informal In The Journey of Oliver K Woodman some of the letters are informal and sound like people speaking Some examples are words like hung out the guys and poor fella Other letters use more formal language such as distinct pleasure

The chart below shows a way to keep track of the
sequence of events in the story You can use the completed
chart to guide you back to parts of the story It can also
