The Prediction

Before reading any text we should first try to make predictions about what we are going to read.

This is because it helps us predict what might happen, what kind of words the author might use, and it makes us think about things we already know! This all really helps us to understand a text better.

What did I think the text was

going to be about?

What was the the text was

actually about?

What did I predict right/wrong?

The Challenge

Every interesting story will have a challenge a character has to overcome.

It could be a mental challenge, or a physical one. Really obvious to see, or tricky to understand, but this challenge is what makes stories so interesting.

Describe the challenge, and tell us how the character/s overcame it!
