Tombful of Trouble - Session 2 - Predicton

In the second session of "Tombful of Trouble", an intriguing narrative unfolds as the characters Agatha, Christie, and Auguste encounter a new character named Ada. The session is designed to engage students in prediction, a key reading comprehension strategy. Students are prompted to speculate on Ada's identity and her role within the story. They are encouraged to use clues from the text and their own inference skills to deduce who Ada might be and to consider how she is linked to the archaeological excavation, or 'dig', that forms the backdrop of the adventure.

The activity is structured to stimulate the students' imagination and critical thinking, inviting them to fill in the blanks with their hypotheses about Ada's background and her relevance to the dig. This exercise not only enhances their engagement with the story but also helps develop their ability to anticipate and hypothesize about plot developments based on textual evidence. By documenting their thoughts and predictions, students create a personal connection to the narrative, setting the stage for further exploration and discovery as the story continues to unfold in subsequent sessions.
