Novel Study: Prediction

        

Source: novel (from my own selection)

Today, please read the assignment carefully. I will provide you with the Learning Intention and Criteria which you will glue onto the left-hand side of your Reading Log. You will complete the assignment this week in the classroom.

Learning Intention: I can identify the genre, make a logical prediction and use text details to predict what a fiction book will be about.

Criteria:

1) Identify the topic or genre (adventure, mystery etc.)

2) Do a careful book walk to make a logical prediction (main idea) about what you think the story is about
3) Record five details supporting my prediction (keyword notes only)
4) Print neatly and accurately (e.g. spelling from the text)

 

Topic (the genre e.g. adventure):

Main Idea (what you think the story is about):

Details (notes, keywords supporting your prediction):

 

Task Description

1.     Using a choice sheet, you will choose your top three choices for a novel to read (you will find out which novel later today)

2.    Scan the novel (picture on the cover, chapter titles, back cover, spot reading throughout the book)

3.    Record your prediction information: topic, main idea, and notes explaining your thinking (prediction)

 

I look forward to reading your predictions.

Love, Mrs. French
