Students listen to the read-aloud carefully, in order that they might create a picture of what they believe will happen next. Discuss the story thus far. Students discuss the story with teacher prompting when necessary. Instruct the students to write their names on the back of the page. On the left hand side of the paper, they are then to draw what they think may happen next.
Students create a picture, according to the teacher's instructions.
The students share their pictures with the rest of the class, explaining what they believe will occur next in the story. Some students will have read the book before, but be sure to allow them to share anyway. At the front of the room, each student shares with the rest of the class what they believe will happen next in the story. Have the students now draw and color on the right hand side of the paper. This time, they will create a picture of what actually happened in the book.
