Tombful of Trouble - Session 5 - Predicton

In the fifth session of "Tombful of Trouble," a gripping scenario unfolds as the children discover Mr Russell in the act of stealing artefacts. This revelation sets the stage for a critical moment in the story, prompting students to engage their imaginations and predictive skills. They are encouraged to consider the consequences of Mr Russell's actions and to speculate on the unfolding events. The session serves as an interactive exercise where children can hypothesize about the storyline's direction, contemplating possible scenarios such as the confrontation between the children and Mr Russell, the potential involvement of authorities, or the moral decisions that Mr Russell might face.

The session is designed to foster critical thinking and creativity among the students, as they are given the opportunity to express their thoughts in writing. With a space provided for their names, each child is invited to articulate their personal predictions about the story's progression. This task not only enhances their engagement with the narrative but also develops their ability to analyze characters' motives and actions within a plot. As they delve into the consequences of the theft, students learn to anticipate and articulate potential outcomes, which is a valuable skill both in literary analysis and in broader problem-solving contexts.
