Armistice Runner - Session 7 - Prediction

In Session 7 of 'The Armistice Runner', students are encouraged to engage their predictive skills to anticipate the future events that may befall the character Ernest. This exercise aims to foster critical thinking and imagination, as students are asked to consider the story's direction and the possible outcomes for Ernest based on the narrative's context and clues provided up to this point. The activity serves as a platform for learners to express their thoughts and hypotheses regarding the storyline, thereby deepening their involvement with the text and enhancing their understanding of narrative progression.

Similarly, the session prompts students to ponder the fate of another character, Captain Whitaker. By speculating about Captain Whitaker's future within the story, students practice inference and deduction. This activity not only aids in developing comprehension skills but also allows students to connect emotionally with the characters by considering their potential challenges and triumphs. The session, therefore, acts as a bridge between the students' analytical skills and their empathy towards the fictional individuals they are reading about, making the learning experience both intellectually stimulating and personally engaging.
