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 actively. Today, we will read a short story together and make predictions about what might happen next based on the clues provided in the text. Predictions help us to think critically and engage with the story on a deeper level.
As we read the first paragraph of our story, let's look for clues. For example, if the text describes a stormy night and a character is alone in a house, we might predict that something scary will happen. I will write down our predictions on the board. Remember, predictions are not always correct, but they help us to think about the story and what might happen next.
Now, I will divide you into small groups. Each group will read a different paragraph of the story. After reading, discuss with your group what you think will happen next and why. Use clues from the text to support your predictions. After 10 minutes, each group will share their predictions with the class, and we will discuss the different ideas presented.
Individually, I want you to write a short paragraph predicting what will happen in the story based on the clues you have gathered. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing in your writing. After you finish, exchange your paragraph with a partner and provide feedback on each other's predictions.
