Make Predictions About a Photo or a Piece of Text

This activity is all about making predictions.

Predictions are clever guesses about what might happen next.

This photo is used on the front cover of a book.

What might the book be about?

We can use the clues in the picture to help us answer this question.

We can see a path leading to a castle.

Could this book be an adventure story?

Is someone planning on invading the castle?

Does someone in the castle need rescuing?

Are there dragons protecting the castle?

The possibilities are endless!

Read the sentence below.

Neal was running so fast he didn’t notice the ice on the pavement.

What might happen next?

Did you use the clues in the sentence?

Neal is running and he is about to run over slippery ice.

We can predict that he is going to slip and maybe fall over and hurt himself.

In this activity, we will make predictions about what might happen next in stories and photos.
