Confirming Assumptions

Worksheet Description

The “Making Predictions” worksheet invites students to embark on a journey of exploration and anticipation as they engage with a new text.

As they encounter the instructions to jot down the text’s title, assumptions, questions, and predictions, students embark on an interactive pre-reading experience. Through this worksheet, they learn to activate their prior knowledge, assess the text’s visual cues, and make educated guesses about its content.

By comparing their predictions to the actual content, students sharpen their analytical skills and uncover the art of prediction in literature. This exercise also helps them acknowledge any misconceptions or biases they might have held before reading.

As they reflect on their predictions and explore their discrepancies, students gain valuable insights into the author’s narrative choices and the elements that make a story captivating and unpredictable.
