State Standard:
ELA 3.1- Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.

Anticipatory Set (7 minutes): Have a student come to the front and do a trust fall from a very safe distance. Ask students to predict what would happen if the student fell backwards. Talk through an anchor chart with the five Ws on prediction. What is prediction? Making a guess about what might happen next. Who uses predictions? Scientists, meteorologists, and good readers! When do we use predictions? Anytime we are reading. Where do we use predictions? Science, art, music, school, home. Why predict? For readers, it helps keep the reading close and makes it more interesting. Teaching/Instructional Process: (I Do) Read Tacky the Penguin. On the first few pages of the text, make a few predictions out loud and use evidence on the next page to talk about if your prediction was right. Checking for Understanding: (We Do) Pre-pick two pages to stop at. On these pages, have students turn to a partner and discuss and write a prediction. Read the next page and have them discuss their evidence. Guided Practice and Monitoring: (We Do) Have two students share their prediction and evidence at each stop. Independent Practice: (You Do) On a page at the end of the story, have students make and write a prediction on their own. Finish the story. Closure: Re-read the objectives and ask students for thumbs up if they think they accomplished their goals. Ask why we would have spent time on this and suggest that they practice predicting when they read during Step Time.
