Put in order

The teacher takes the dialogue and divides it into several sections (or as many sections as there are students in the class). Each student gets one section of the story.  Students must then move around the class and by listening to each section read aloud, decide where in the story their section belongs.  Eventually the students have to put the entire story together in the correct sequence.
