B. Introduction Before beginning, explain to the students that they will be writing a class book about this topic after listening to the story. Teacher reads the title and shows cover to the students. The students make predictions about the content. The students confirm, refine, or reject their initial hypotheses and justify their ideas with reference to the text. Students will make new hypotheses.
Teacher reads the next section and follows the procedure in the previous step.
This cycle continues until text is read. Once the story is finished, revisit the ideas in the story. Brainstorm a list of ideas of what might happen if their teacher brought a magic box in school. Write down the children's ideas as they are given. Show students a sample of the page for the book that they will make.
