Auditory/Predict Outcomes
Title: Stop, Drop, and Roll
Idea:
Stop, Drop, and Roll is designed to get the students to stop reading right where they are, drop the book, and roll out the information they know right now. This activity allows the students to share the knowledge they have of what is happening in the book up to this point in time. It also helps the teacher to determine how much of the material the students are understanding.

Title: Prince Cinders
The activity for this book will be done before the students ever hear the story. I will explain to the students that we will be reading a book today about a young prince, entitled Prince Cinders. I will ask if this sounds like any story they've ever read. If no one has any ideas, I will show the cover of the book and ask what the story might be about. After allowing the students to brainstorm for a few minutes, I will pass out poster board strips that are separated into five frames. In the first three frames I will have drawn events that occur in the story and the last two frames will be empty. I will read and discuss each frames and then have the students break into pairs and come up with ideas that could fill in each blank frame. They should be sure to think of events that would make sense with the existing events that are printed on the strips. I will give students about fifteen minutes to complete this activity, and then I will ask if anyone would like to share wh!
at they have thought of. After a child shares, I will ask the class if his or her ending makes sense. Why or why not? Finally, I will read the entire book aloud to the class or play a book on tape so that they can see how the author decided to end the story.

Title: "What Happen's Next?"
Idea: The teacher will hand out a story, but have it broken
into sections so that the students cannot read ahead. The students will read
the story and predict what they think will be happening next in the story.
After making a prediction, they will continue reading and find out if they were
correct or not.

Title: This is What I See
Idea: Depending on the grade level, I will read either the first chapter, page, passage or paragraph aloud to the class. (How much you read depends on the reading level and how far into the book needs to be read before students can make a prediction.) While I read I will have students close their eyes and visualize where the characters are at and what is going on. After I am done reading the students can either draw or write (depending on the grade level) what they think will happen in the story.
This can be used in the middle of a story in longer books as well to see if they predict something else will happen after they hear more of the story.
