• We will keep using Google classroom to hand in homework for announcements and (extra) assignments.

Who is the man in the picture and what is he famous for?

• Today's class is all about predicting.
  

We will practise predicting with  few assignments and exercises.

• After we practise we will look at how predicting works and how it will help you in becoming a better reader.
  

• Movie posters need to tell a story in one picture and limited text (title and tagline)
  
• Can you predict the story, genre, main character by looking at a movie poster?
  

• Make groups of 4
  
• You will all receive a poster. If you have seen the movie in question please join another group.
• You have 2 minutes to write down as much as you can of what you think the movie is about.
• After the 2 minutes are up you all have one minute to share your predictions about the movie with the class.

Think of these:

• Plot
• Genre of the movie
• Main character
• Setting (time, place)

What did you actually do
when you tried to
predict what the movie was about?

First Lines

• What if it is just text?
• Remain in your groups
• I will show you four different first lines (for one minute!)
• As with the movie posters: predict what type of story it is
• What genre? Who is the protagonist? etc..
• Type your answers in app!

Once upon a time in a land far, far away…

"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973.”

"The sun did not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold, cold wet day. I sat there with Sally. We sat here we two and we said 'How we wish we had something to do.'"

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."

When you predict you:

• Look at the title
  
• Look at headings
  
• Look at pictures
  
• Look at words that are bold , underlined or in Italics
  
• Look at numbers
  
• Think of everything you already know about this topic

Individual assigment

• Pick a headline
• The stars indicate the level of difficulty
• Pick the level that suits you
• Vwo students pick at least a 2 star article
• Be sure to read the headline and answer the questions BEFORE you read the article

Headlines:

Download the article in the Studiewijzer. Finished? Read an extra article (maybe a more difficult one). Need extra help? Come to the front of the class .

You have 10 minutes.

After this class I know how to use predicting as a reading strategy.
If you answered no, write down why.
