Making Predictions Lesson 2

This document provides a lesson plan for a grade 2/3 class on making predictions through reading pictures by author Chris Van Allsburg. The lesson involves students making predictions about the before, during, and after of a picture using the five W's. In the Minds On activity, students will do a think-pair-share on their predictions of a Van Allsburg picture. Then, the teacher will model their own predictions of a different picture. In the Consolidation, students will work in groups to write their predictions on chart paper. The Next Steps have students individually writing a mini story based on their predictions.
