Making Predictions

Today in readers' workshop, students learned how to make quality predictions based on their character's traits.  As an example, we used Goblins in the Castle and decided that William, the main character, had a negative character trait: being too secretive. Based on this thinking, we created predictions that were more accurate.  Students learned that making quality predictions is a strategy that effective readers use.  During independent reading time, students practiced this strategy.
