Talking Points
"Imagine a story is like a recipe. The order of the ingredients (actions) is important to make it taste good."
"When we act out a scene, we can show how the sequence of events helps the audience follow the story."
"Just like putting a puzzle together, arranging actions in the right order helps us see the bigger picture."
