My students often struggle to connect events in novel scenarios. These would include nursery rhymes, songs, fairy tales, poems, and stories. It can be a need to flesh out the various aspects of each event and how to describe them. It may be that a connection needs to be made with each of these events. The language that describes these connections designates the order of the events. Conventional storytelling vocabulary and phrases may need to be developed. Focusing on novel sequences that are part of the typical repertoire acquired in childhood offers a good possibility of automatic and frequent redundancy. Scenarios may often include common event sequences with the added complexity of actors, dialogue, thoughts, emotions, and position exchange. There is also a high expectancy that my student will have experienced elements within the scenarios and will remember the various aspects of specific events with the help of carefully crafted images.
