Once again I am impressed with the amount of improvement many of you are making. Last week you showed that you can really share your thoughts and put forth a great effort when doing so. I am pleased with your hard work and look forward to reading your responses this week!
The question this week is about making predictions. Good readers are always making predictions about what they think will happen next in the story they are reading. When you make a prediction, you are challenging your brain to try and tell the future. Even though none of us have the ability to magically tell what is going to happen in the future, when you use all the information the story has already given you, often times you can correctly predict what will happen next. It is always fun to try, and there is no penalty if you are wrong. One of my favorite moments any time I read is when I predict something that is going to happen and i get it right!!
Your mission this week is to make a prediction about the story you are currently reading. As always, write the author and the book title. After you make a prediction, share 2-3 sentences from the book that helped you make your prediction.
example: I am currently reading "Sluggers: Magic in the Outfield" by Phil Bildner (who is also the visiting author at BHE this week!). It is a story about a traveling baseball team and the struggles they go through to make money and survive on the road. My prediction after reading the first chapter is that Uncle Owen (the main characters great uncle) will be murdered soon and force Griffith (his oldest nephew) to take run away with his brothers and sisters. The reason I made this prediction is because of a conversation Uncle Owen has with one of his nephews named Griffith. "Uncle Owen lifted his hand and placed it on Griffith's cheek. "Griff, great danger lies ahead." What kind of danger?" Griffith's eyes met his uncle's. "An unspeakable kind". Uncle Owen choked on his words."
Remember: Try your very best in everything you do.
PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION,
Mr. Dickson
The book i am currently reading is sluggers # 2

ReplyDeleteI predikt krookshanks is going to kill sirias black , krookshanks jumped on siris black and sirias punch krooksanks.
The book I am reading is "Zoobreak" by Gordon Korman. I predict that Ben, the smallest guy in town, will get caught by the security guard, Klaus Anthony and he will get in trouble by him. I chose this because in the book it says "Instead of the room with the monkey cage, the beam shone directly into the sleeping face of Klaus Anthony. Even more horrific, the security guard's eyes popped open and stared straight up into the light."
ReplyDeleteI am reading ''The Name of this book is Secret'' by Pseudonymous Bosch. My prediction is that Cassandra will trick her two grandpas about where she is going, but instead she will get Max to go to the magician's house and start to dig for clues. I decided this because Cass still wants to find evidence about the magician before Dr. L and Ms. Mauvis buy the house or find the clue. Her grandpas would never let her go when her mom is in Hawaii for a couple of days so Cass will have to trick them.
ReplyDeleteThe book I am reading is The karate Mouse by:Geronimo Stilton
ReplyDeleteI think Geronimo is going to win the karate world championship!!!!!!!!!!!
Because Geronimo's cousin and Geronimo's karate teacher are going to help Geronimo learn karate!!!!!!! :)
I am currently reading Katie Kazoo Switcheroo Hair Today Gone Tomorrow by Nancy Krulik. It is about a girl named Katie and Katie can`t stop switching into other people, in this book Katie turns into a women named sparkles who is about to give a hair cut to Katie`s best friend Suzanne. My prediction after reading the first chapter was that Katie was going to give Suzanne a very bad hair cut since she has never given any one a hair cut except for herself ones but that was a big mistake of hers because her hair turned out very bad.

ReplyDeleteI am reading a "Candy Apple book:The Sister Switch" by Jane B. Mason and Sarah Hines Stephens This story is about two completely identical twins. My prediction is that the two twins will switch there life stiles for one day. This was my prediction because the tittle is The Sister Switch, and because one of the sisters said..."I will never play soccer I already do band"she said. So I think the other sister will make her do what she does every day.

And so on. I think what else might happen is that aiden gets taught by a knight for aiden to be a knight too.

ReplyDeleteThe book I'm reading is called "Ella Enchanted." The authers name is Gail Carson. Bertha came in, "Sir Peter wants you in the study, miss." "What does he want," I said. "He didn't say," she was twisting one braids anxously. And that is when I started to wonder. I first thought maybe her dad overherd them talking about god mothers. Then another idea popped in my head and thought maybe Ella was in trouble for some reason and her dad was going to give Ella a command and she would have to do it. I am going to read a little bit more. Bertha was scared of everything. What was there to be afraid of. My father wants to talk to me. It was only to be expected. I finished drying my plate and dried another one and then a third one. "Best not tarry, little mistriss," Bertha said. I reached for my fourth ish. I am predicting that Ella is procrastinating because she does not want to talk to her dad.
ReplyDeleteThe book I am reading is titled "The Calder Game" by Blue Balliett. I predict that either Alexander Calder took his sculpture and Calder Pillay. Or Calder might have taken the sculpture because he did not know why everybody was afraid of it. I think this because Calder said earlier in the book "Why is everyone afraid of this sculpture.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading "Goddess Girls:Aphrodite the beauty"by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams. It is about the gods of the Greek (also a fantasy).My prediction after reading the first 3 chapters is that Aphrodite (the main character) will get jealous of Athena (Aphrodite's best friend) because she tried to help Athena by giving her a makeover, because before all the godboys were obesessed with Aphrodite and she was getting sick of it, and now after Athena's makeover Ales (Aphrodite's crush) was trying to impress Athena Aphrodite started sweating and started thinking "could it be, i'm JEALOUS of my own best friend?."
ReplyDeleteSluggers #6
ReplyDeleteIn Sluggers #6 I predict that Griffith, Graham, Ruby, and the Travel'in Nine will beat the chancellor and won't have to pay the fine that they have been told to pay because because there is a lot of people afraid and against the chancellor. I also predict that Griffith and Graham will both play with the Travel'in Nine becauseGriffith and Graham are very good baseball players and some of the people on the Travel'in Nine could be their ( Griffith Graham and Ruby) Grandfather.I am sure those two things will happen.
i am reading "Goosebumps Horrorland: Monster Blood for Breakfast". i have finished the story part and i am on the "welcome to Horrorland" part. So far i have read the part where Matt Daniels tries touching the glass mirror his hand goes right through and that Sheena is invisible. i predict that Matt will try to get help. The reason i made that prediction is because of common sense. If somehow your best friend is invisible, you would want to make him or her visible somehow.
ReplyDeleteThe book that I am currently reading is called, Beezus and Ramona. The author is Beverly Cleary. The prediction that I made, is..... I think that when their mother gets back from the store, and finds out that Ramona has been taking one bite out of the reddest part of an apple and throwing the rest of it on the floor, that she will not be happy with Ramona. I also think that since Ramona's mother will be mad at her and send her to her room that Ramona will throw one of her unforgettable temper tantrums. I thought of that because, Ramona is known for her temper tantrums, and her mother had just gone to the store last week to buy some more apples and now they are all gone for three reasons. One for Ramona eating all of the apples, two for Beezus who lost track of Ramona, and lastly for Ramona running off like that. ( Beezus was very scared because she had just told Ramona about Christopher Columbus and had wondered if she was off to find out if the world was round which she already knew that it was.)
ReplyDeleteI am reading " The London Eye Mystery". It is about kat, tad and there cousin salim. They get on the eye and when they get off, salim is gone. I think that he jumped out of the eye and ran away or when they got off he got lost and could not find his way back. i made this prediction because i thought that it would be a good prediction to write.

I am currently reading Judy Moody, M.D.: The Doctor Is In by Megan McDonald. What happened so far is Judy Moody and her class started to learn about body parts and bones. They go on a field trip to a hospital, and the doctor is giving them a tour while people are asking questions. Because the doctor just ended a phone call by saying, “CODE BLUE” (which means your heart stops), I think they will actually have a real emergency in the hospital, and the students will have to go home and not have a field trip. I hope my prediction is correct!

The book I am reading is Fantastic Mr. Fox. The author is Roald Dahl. I predicted that the farmers, Bean, Bunce and Boggis would kill Mr. Fox based on the following sentences:
ReplyDelete"'I have a plan,' he said. Tomorrow night we will all hide just outside the hole where the fox lives. We will wait there until he comes out. Then...Bang! Bang-bang-bang."
The book I am reading is titled "The Opal Deception"and is written by Eoin Colfer. It is about a criminal genius who got mind-wiped by fairies.In the part that I have read Artemis and Butler[his butler] has gotten attacked by abomd called a blue- rinse.The bomb destroys organic life forms but lets non-living things stay.I think that Opal will try to destroy the fairies because they locked her in jail.In the past books Opal tries to but fails to enslave fairy kind.
ReplyDeleteThe book I am reading is "Goosebumps How I Learned to Fly" by R.L.Stine It is a story where Wilson always has to compete with Jack over Mia the cutest girl in Mailbu Middle School. Jack wants to get away from Wilson so Jack goes to an old abandoned house. My prediction after reading the first chapter is Jack will learn how to fly because the title of the book is "How I Learned to Fly. Another Reason is because Jack Found a book called Flying Lessons.My final reason is Jack wants to get back at Wilson because Wilson cannot fly and Jack can learn how to fly.
