Direct Reading Thinking Activity

Make a chart like the one on display.

For every page written on the chart, make a prediction about what you think will happen in the next text. Write it down.

Use what you know about the text so far and your own understanding of the context of the story to make your prediction.

After you read on, check to see if your prediction was right. Write down what actually happened in the story.
