Here is an animated PowerPoint slideshow that teaches students about making predictions. This slideshow includes tips and examples about making predictions with stories as well as a practice activity at the end of the lesson.
R.1 - Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
RL.4.1 - Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. RL.5.1 - Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. RL.6.1 - Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. RL.7.1 - Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. RL.8.1 - Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. RL.9-10.1 - Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. RL.11-12.1 - Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
