The Hodgeheg - Session 3 - Prediction

In Session 3 of 'The Hodgeheg', a thought-provoking exercise is presented to young learners, inviting them to step into the shoes of the story's protagonist, Max. Having already embarked on two ventures to discover a secure crossing for hedgehogs, Max finds himself at a crossroads, yet to crack the conundrum. Students are prompted to ponder Max's predicament and envisage what his subsequent move might be. This activity not only stimulates the imagination but also encourages critical thinking as children consider the challenges faced by the character and the potential strategies he could employ to overcome them.

The session serves as a platform for the students to make predictions and express their thoughts in writing. They are encouraged to articulate their ideas comprehensively, starting with the phrase "I think that". This predictive task allows children to engage more deeply with the narrative, fostering a connection with Max's journey. By contemplating various scenarios, learners can explore different outcomes and solutions, thereby enhancing their problem-solving skills and fostering a deeper understanding of the storyline. The activity culminates with the students documenting their insights, providing a personal touch to their learning experience.
