We practiced our prediction making today, making logical, informed predictions about an article, based on a picture, then the title, and then the "blurb" from the side of the article. Students are getting better at making predictions that are based upon the evidence in front of them.
After we made predictions before reading, we then read the article together, stopping after short chunks to continue predicting what would happen. Students used the details of the article, plus their background knowledge, to guess what was about to happen next.
Finally, we began filling out a "Problem - Solution Outline" which allows us to summarize what we understand of what went wrong, and the different solutions that were tried. We will continue with this activity on Thursday.
