Brightstorm - Session 8 - Prediction

In the eighth session of the Brightstorm series, young adventurers Arthur and Maudie have embarked on a journey aboard the airship Aurora, setting the stage for readers to eagerly anticipate the unfolding events. As the narrative progresses, students are encouraged to engage with the story by making predictions about the characters' future experiences and the challenges they may encounter. This exercise not only stimulates the imagination but also fosters critical thinking and comprehension skills, as students must draw on textual evidence and their understanding of the characters' motives and the story's direction.

Students are invited to document their predictions on what adventures or trials Arthur and Maudie might face next. This personal engagement with the text provides a platform for reflection and discussion, allowing students to explore the possibilities of the storyline and to consider the potential developments that await the duo on their voyage. By hypothesising the characters' next steps, students become more invested in the narrative and develop a deeper connection with the literary world of Brightstorm. The activity serves as a bridge between the readers' creativity and the literary journey that lies ahead for Arthur and Maudie aboard the Aurora.
