Tijekom ovog čitača, studenti će imati mnogo predviđanja ili zaključaka o tome što misle da će se dogoditi sljedeće. Velika ideja za ploču scenarija jest da učenici ilustriraju njihova predviđanja. Planirajte na određenim točkama zaustavljanja tijekom čitanja i predajete svoje učenike što će se dogoditi. Oni će ilustrirati svoje predviđanje u ćeliji scenarija i upotrijebiti dokaze iz teksta ili prethodnog znanja kako bi podržali njihovu predviđanja.
Glavni fokus na primjeru scenarija bio je predvidjeti što će Elmer koristiti iz svojeg naprtnjače. Priča navodi upravo ono što je Elmer donio sa sobom na putu:
Koristeći ovo znanje i pripovijest o specifičnoj životinji, može se predvidjeti ono što misle da će koristiti i kako će ga koristiti da pobjegne.
Što predviđate da će Elmer upotrijebiti iz torbe da mu pomogne pobjeći od životinje?
Kada Elmer prvi put susreće Rhino, Rhino plače jer mu je kljova sada žuta, umjesto bijele
"Kad sam bio mladi nosorog, moja kljova bila je biserno bijela, ali pretvorila je gadno žuto-sivo u moje staro doba, i smatram da je to ružno."
Elmer ulazi u lava koji vikne i ljuti jer ima grančice od kupine koje su mu zaglađene u kosu.
"Lav je prestrašio oko čavrljanja na njegovu grivu, koji je bio zarežen i pun punih ražnjića."
Mislim da će Elmer upotrijebiti četku ili češalj da pomogne da lav oprati grivu.

Student Instructions
Make predictions about what will happen following certain parts of the story.
Encourage students to share their predictions in small groups to build confidence and deepen comprehension. Small group discussions help quieter students participate and learn from peers.
Designate roles like predictor, evidence-finder, and illustrator. Assigning roles keeps everyone engaged and accountable.
Provide focused questions such as, “What do you think will happen next?” and “What clues from the text support your prediction?” This helps guide meaningful conversation.
Demonstrate how to listen thoughtfully and respond with phrases like, “I agree because…” or “I have a different idea because…” This fosters a positive, collaborative environment.
Invite each group to share one interesting prediction or piece of evidence. Sharing highlights builds confidence and encourages whole-class learning.
Teach prediction skills by stopping at key moments in My Father's Dragon and asking students what might happen next. Encourage them to use evidence from the text and prior knowledge to support their ideas. Using activities like storyboards helps students visualize and explain their predictions.
Create a storyboard prediction activity: after reading each chapter or scene, have students draw what they think will happen next and write a short explanation using clues from the story. This helps younger students practice both reading comprehension and inference skills.
Using evidence encourages students to think critically and base their predictions on facts rather than guesses. This skill improves reading comprehension and prepares them for more advanced analysis as they grow as readers.
Elmer's knapsack contains items like gum, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, magnifying glasses, lollipops, rubber bands, jackknife, hair ribbons, and a grain sack. Students can predict how each item might help Elmer solve problems or escape from animals, connecting the objects to story events for deeper engagement.
Storyboards let students illustrate predictions and key events, making abstract thinking visible. By drawing and describing what happens and what might happen next, students clarify their understanding and strengthen comprehension skills.
