A prediction is what we think will happen based upon the text, author and our background knowledge.
People make predictions every day. We watch friends and family members and can often guess what they are going to do or say next.
What did the author do to capture your attention?
• How do you want the story to end?
• What do you like about the setting?
• Who was your favourite character and why?
• Which character is most like you?
• What is your favourite, or least favourite, part of the book?
• How does the story relate to your own life?
• Copy a short passage that you like and explain why it is interesting.
• Explain the information (Who? What? When? Where? Why?)
