Shared reading is a collaborative reading experience where the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This method encourages students to engage with the text, make predictions about what will happen next, and discuss their thoughts. Today, we will read a short story together and practice making predictions based on the illustrations and text.
As we read the story 'Uhlanga Olukhulu' (The Big Plant), I will pause at certain points and ask you what you think will happen next. For instance, when we see the character looking worried, I might ask, 'What do you think is making him worried?' This encourages you to think critically and use clues from the text to make informed guesses.
After reading the first part of 'Uhlanga Olukhulu', we will break into small groups. Each group will discuss their predictions about the next part of the story. Use the questions: 'What do you think will happen next?' and 'Why do you think that?' to guide your discussion. After 10 minutes, each group will share their predictions with the class.
Now that we have discussed our predictions, I want you to write down your own prediction about the ending of 'Uhlanga Olukhulu'. Use at least three sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. After writing, illustrate your prediction with a drawing that represents your ideas. Be prepared to share your prediction with a partner.
