|Lesson Title: Making Predictions |Date: |

|Subject: Reading |Grade Level(s): 6-7 |

|Teacher: |Time Frame: 60 minutes |

|Lesson Summary: |

|Students will be able to make predictions using evidence in the text and real life experiences. |

|Lesson Objectives |

| The students will know… |

|How to make predictions while they read. |

| |

|The students will be able to… |

|Make informed predictions about the text. |

|Lesson Plan |

|Time: |Procedure: |Materials Needed: |

|15 minutes |Warm-up Exercise: |Computer connected to a projector; PowerPoint presentation, slide 2 |

| |Display slide 2. Ask students to write a short story about | |

| |recycling paper, including not only what is happening but also what| |

| |they think will happen next. Then have volunteers share their | |

| |stories. | |

| | | |

| |Ask students how they decided what would happen next in the story. | |

| |(For example, I know the paper will travel to a recycling plant | |

| |because we learned about paper recycling in Science class.) | |

|5 minutes |Motivation (Real-world Applications): | |

| |Ask students if they have ever guessed what was going to happen in | |

| |a story before it happened. How did they make this prediction? | |

| | | |

| |Ask students why it is useful to be able to predict outcomes? For | |

| |example, what will probably happen if you run down the hall? And | |

| |what might happen if you take out the trash without being asked to?| |

|15 minutes |Presentation of New Material: |Computer connected to a projector; PowerPoint presentation, slide 3 |

| |Display slide 3. Explain to students that when they are reading, | |

| |they can take the time to stop and ask questions about what could | |

| |happen next. By doing so, they can connect what they know about the| |

| |events in the story to their own experiences. They can also think | |

| |about what they know so far about the story and its characters and | |

| |better understand the relationship of events in a story. | |

|5 minutes |Guided Practice: |Computer connected to a projector; PowerPoint presentation, slide 4 |

| |Display slide 4 and read the passage. Have students work in pairs | |

| |to make a prediction. Reference the correct answer on slide 5 as | |

| |needed. Display slide 6 and read the passage. Have students work in| |

| |pairs to make a prediction. Reference the correct answer on slide 7| |

| |as needed. | |

|20 minutes |Closing Activities: | |

| |With a partner, have students rewrite the story from slide 6 using | |

| |“Sarah wakes up in a panic. She suddenly remembers—“ as the | |

| |starting point. After a couple of minutes, have students trade | |

| |their stories with another pair and finish their story. Ask | |

| |students to share their stories with the class and be prepared to | |

| |explain how they predicted what would happen next. | |

|Homework: Go to and write down the weather forecast for your city tomorrow. Explain why the weather forecast is a prediction. Then predict what |

|most people in your city will be wearing tomorrow. |

|Differentiation: Have students needing extra support work in small groups to analyze the beginning and middle of short stories they have not read. Have them make |

|predictions about the ending by identifying the evidence and then talking about the evidence helped them to make their predictions. Ask students who need an extra |

|challenge to stop several times throughout the story and make predictions. Have them exchange their predictions with other students reading the same stories. |
