The Snow Spider - Session 4 - Prediction

In the fourth session of 'The Snow Spider', the narrative continues to unfold as Gwyn confides in his friend Alun about the mysterious Silver Ship that he has encountered. Gwyn entrusts Alun with this secret, emphasizing the importance of discretion. This pivotal moment in the story opens up an opportunity for the reader to engage with the text by making predictions. The reader is prompted to consider whether Alun will honour Gwyn's request for secrecy or whether he will reveal the secret, and to speculate on the potential consequences of such an action.

The session provides a framework for readers to actively participate by completing the sentence "I think that Alun will ____________." This encourages them to use their inference skills and understanding of the characters to make an educated guess about Alun's forthcoming actions. Additionally, readers are invited to contemplate and articulate their thoughts on what might transpire if Alun were to disclose the secret. This exercise not only enhances their predictive skills but also fosters a deeper connection with the story as they consider the implications of the characters' choices and how they might drive the plot forward.
