Sequence and evidence
Put a story's events in order, and use the text as evidence for its lesson.
A sample lesson from this module is playable in the demo. The full module is not written yet; it is not a finished course.
Why it matters
Stories, instructions and history all happen in order; knowing what came first, and why, helps you retell them, follow them and learn from them.

Practicalities
Draft outline · in reviewBuilt to run offline
Planned to run on the Lantern's own computer, with no internet needed.
Languages
Planned first in English; every module aims to reach all of the Lantern's languages.
Try a question.
One question from the module, as a learner would meet it. Have a go, then open the worked solution a step at a time.
Draft outline · in review
Read: 'After school, Musa fed the chickens. Before that, he had changed out of his uniform. Later, when the sun went down, he shut the chickens in their coop.' Put these in order: Musa shuts the coop; Musa changes out of his uniform; Musa feeds the chickens.
Work it out on paper first, then show the answer and mark it yourself.
