The Explorer - Session 3 - Prediction
English Resource Description
In "The Explorer - Session 3," an engaging activity prompts children to make predictions about the storyline. The session is designed to stimulate the imaginations of KS2 students, asking them to consider the potential events that could unfold when the characters remain in the den. This exercise not only encourages creative thinking but also helps develop critical reading skills, as the children must use context clues and their understanding of the narrative so far to make informed guesses about the plot's direction.
Students are invited to write down their predictions, which allows them to actively participate in the storytelling process and connect more deeply with the material. This task is also an opportunity for them to practice articulating their thoughts and ideas in writing. The session serves as a platform for discussion and sharing, as each child's prediction can be compared and contrasted with those of their peers, fostering a collaborative learning environment. The simple prompt, "I predict that," followed by space for the student's name, personalizes the activity, making it a unique expression of each individual's perspective and creativity.
