V. Lesson Proper

A. Introduction

As readers, we can use clues to predict what is going to happen in the story. It
doesnt really matter whether your prediction is correct or not. Whats important is that
you are paying attention to the clues and thinking about what might happen next. Doing
this will help you understand the story and get more enjoyment out of reading. Tell them
that in this lesson they will practice using clues to make predictions.

Predicting outcomes means that you are able to foretell or logically speculate
what will happen in the future. For example, if you see a bunch of storm clouds in the
sky moving towards you, it is logical for you to predict that a possible outcome might be
that it will rain in the near future.

B. Initial Activity

See attached Activity (Learning To Make Predictions)

C. Explicit Instruction/Modelling

4 Steps In Predicting Outcome (Text:Dogs dont tell jokes)

Step 1: Find a big event or cliffhanger and stop reading.

*A cliffhanger is an event in the text that leaves the reader wondering what will happen
next.

Step 2: Ask yourself specific questions about what could happen next.

Example: I will skim Chapter 8 and stop when I come to the part when
Garys parents asked him not to tell jokes. This is a big event because joke
telling was very important to Gary.

Example: Specific questions about the event of Garys parents asking him to
stop telling jokes include: Will Gary be able to go three weeks without telling
any jokes? Will he win the $100 from his parents for sticking to the deal?

Step 3: Access prior knowledge or experience to think about what could happen.

Step 4: Make a meaningful prediction using text evidence.

Example: Think about text evidence. By using what I know about

comedians, I think it would be hard for comedians to go three weeks without
making jokes.

Example: From the text, I can tell that Gary is passionate about joke telling
and that it is part of his personality. Although the money is tempting, I dont
think money will fulfil him like making people laugh. I predict that Gary will
not be able to stop telling jokes.
VI. Value Integration: Developing Environmental Awareness

With the increasing amount of deforestation and increasing pollution, over time
there will be no place for plants to grow, extreme weather changes will happen, people
will get sick because of pollution. With no oxygen, life for humans on earth will not exist.
Thus, everyone should take care of our planet by throwing garbage properly, plant more
trees, clean watersheds, and eliminate pollutants in the environment.

VII. Drills/Exercises
See attached Worksheet (Can You Predict?)

VIII. Synthesis
As a reader, one can make predictions before, during, and after reading.
Making predictions is a way to check for understanding.
Making predictions require the use of additional strategies to ensure
comprehension.
Your prediction will be proven/disproved by the end of the reading.

IX. Evaluation

Read each paragraph and then make a prediction about what will happen next. Use
evidence to support your guess.

Making Predictions

Directions: Use information you already know and what the author is telling you to make a
prediction. A prediction is what you think will happen.

1. Final exams is scheduled tomorrow. Instead of studying his lessons, Martin joined his friends
playing computer games all night.

2. Sara and her Mother drove to the computer store. Sara had her money she had received for
Christmas and the money she had saved. She waited a long time for this day.
