Grade Level(s) the lesson: 2nd grade
Introduce the Topic: I will introduce the topic of making predictions about literary text. I will scaffold that concept by discussing other kinds of predictions the students might make in their daily lives.
Share Examples: I will have a poster of sentence starters to help my students frame their thoughts. The sentence starters are: I think, I wonder, I imagine, I predict. I will model an example for my students, “I imagine Frog and Toad are going to feel sick after eating so many cookies because that’s what would happen to me.”
Provide Information: I will give students more information about predictions. I will state, “While it is ok if your prediction is not correct, predictions should not be wild guesses. They should be based on something you learned from the story, from something another student said, or something you know to be true. I made my prediction that Frog and Toad would feel sick after eating so many cookies because I would feel sick if I ate that many cookies.”
Supervise Practice: I would have students write a prediction down on a piece of paper and illustrate their picture with a pencil. (There is not enough time to color.) Then I would have the students leave their predictions on their desks and go for a gallery walk around the room to see their classmate’s predictions. Afterward I have the class sit back down and discuss the predictions they saw. I would ask if anyone came up with a new prediction after the gallery walk. I would then read the chapter Cookies from the literary text Frog and Toad Together. As a class we would discuss story in relation to our predictions.
Assess Learning: I would assess learning by having students fill out an exit ticket. I want each student write down something they learned about making predictions.
