The Explorer - Session 17 - Prediction

In Session 17 of 'The Explorer', an engaging activity is presented that encourages students to make predictions about the story's progression. The task at hand is for the pupils to contemplate whether Fred, a character in the narrative, will attempt to peer behind the vines once more and to articulate their reasoning behind their predictions. This exercise not only stimulates the students' imagination and critical thinking but also enhances their ability to infer and deduce outcomes based on the context provided in the story so far.

The prediction activity is designed to be a thought-provoking part of the lesson, where students can delve into character motivations and plot development. It provides an opportunity for them to demonstrate their comprehension of the text and to engage with the story on a deeper level. By predicting Fred's actions and explaining their ideas, students are actively participating in the storytelling process, making connections with the character's experiences, and applying their understanding of the narrative's themes and previous events. This is an interactive way to foster a love for reading and to develop key literacy skills within the KS2 curriculum.
