• The sequence of events is the order in which events happen

– Ex: When making a cake, the first thing you must do is preheat the oven. The second thing you should do is measure and mix the ingredients. Thirdly you must put the mix into the oven and be sure to set a timer! Finally the last thing you must do is take the cake out of the over before it burns. Then you can enjoy your cake.

• Chronological order is when events are told in the order in which they actually happened in time

– Ex: The students entered the class at 8am where they worked until 8:55am. The students then left the classroom and went on to their second period at 9am. Later that day at 11am they went to lunch. Finally, at 3pm the students went home for the day.
