Počas tohto čítania sa študenti budú mať veľa predpovedí alebo záverov o tom, čo si myslia, že sa bude diať ďalej. Skvelý nápad pre storyboard je, aby študenti ilustrovali svoje predpovede. Plánujte konkrétne miesta zastavenia pri čítaní a nechajte študentov predpovedať, čo sa stane. Budú ilustrovať svoju predpoveď v bunke storyboard a použijú dôkazy z textu alebo predchádzajúce znalosti na zálohovanie svojich predpovedí.
Hlavným dôrazom na príklad na príklade scenára je predpovedať, čo Elmer bude používať z jeho batohu. Príbeh uvádza presne to, čo Elmer priniesol so sebou na výlet:
Pomocou týchto vedomostí a príbehu o konkrétnom zvierati sa dá predpovedať, čo si myslia, že použije a ako ju použije na útek.
Čo predpovedáš, že Elmer použije z vrecka, aby mu pomohol utiecť zo zvieraťa?
Keď sa Elmer prvýkrát stretne s Rhinom, Rhino plačí, pretože jeho kel je teraz žltý namiesto bieleho
"Keď som bol mladý nosorožca, môj kel bol perleťovo biely, ale v mojom starobe sa zmenil na škaredú žlto-šedú a ja to považujem za veľmi škaredé."
Elmer narazí do leva, ktorý kričí a rozhnevá, pretože má vo vlasoch škrupiny ostružinové.
"Lev ležal na hrivke, ktorá bola zavrčená a plná ostružinových vetvičiek."
Myslím, že Elmer použije kefu alebo hrebeň, aby pomohol ľutiovi čistiť hrivu.

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.
