The Last Bear - Session 11 - Prediction

In the eleventh session of 'The Last Bear', students are prompted to engage in a prediction exercise that encourages them to consider the potential success of the protagonist April's plan to help Bear using a boat. This activity is designed to stimulate critical thinking and reasoning, as students must draw on the story's context and their understanding of the characters to make informed guesses about the future plot developments. They are asked to articulate their thoughts on the likelihood of April's plan succeeding and to provide justifications for their opinions.

The worksheet provides a structured format for students to record their predictions and the reasoning behind them. By filling in the blanks, students practice constructing coherent arguments and using evidence from the text to support their views. This exercise not only deepens their comprehension and analytical skills but also fosters creativity as they imagine possible outcomes for the story. The session serves as a valuable tool in developing students' abilities to hypothesize and explain their thought processes in writing, which are key skills in literary analysis and English language learning.
