The 13-Storey Treehouse - Session 3 - Prediction

In the third session of "The 13-Storey Treehouse," Andy and Terry find themselves spending time watching a television show about dogs. Their reaction to the show is less than enthusiastic as they consider it to be the 'dumbest TV show ever.' The session prompts students to delve into the characters' perspectives and critically think about the content they have just engaged with. Students are encouraged to reflect on what elements of the show might have led Andy and Terry to such a strong opinion, and they are given the opportunity to articulate their own thoughts on the matter.

The activity is designed to foster analytical thinking by asking students to consider the reasons behind the characters' judgement of the TV show. As part of the exercise, students are invited to express in writing why they believe the show is deemed 'dumb' from the characters' point of view, potentially exploring aspects such as the show's entertainment value, educational content, or production quality. This not only helps students practice their predictive and inferential skills but also allows them to engage with the text on a deeper level, understanding character motivations and opinions. Additionally, there is a space provided for students to write down their thoughts and add their name, making it a personal and interactive learning experience.
