The Snow Spider - Session 8 - Prediction

In Session 8 of 'The Snow Spider', students are presented with a scenario that sets the stage for a prediction exercise. The narrative reaches a point where Alun, after visiting a character named Eirlys, sets out to meet Gwyn. However, when Gwyn attempts to locate Alun later on, he discovers that Alun is nowhere to be found. This unexpected twist in the story prompts students to engage their imagination and analytical skills to hypothesize about Alun's mysterious disappearance.

The exercise encourages students to delve into the realm of speculation and to articulate their thoughts regarding the possible outcomes of the story. They are invited to consider the preceding events and character motivations to make an educated guess about Alun's fate. This activity not only stimulates creative thinking but also aids in developing critical thinking skills as students weigh various possibilities and craft their predictions. They are provided with a space to record their ideas, beginning with the phrase "I think that", followed by their name, which personalizes their contribution to the class discussion on this intriguing plot development.
