Charlie Anderson--that double ending ought to do it. I was modeling this strategy for a first year teacher and she had selected Arthur's Glasses. My heart rather sunk because I would have selected something else, but her literature selections are very limited and so I decided to do the best. I marked several spots with a flag with a P on it, including the cover. I made a prediction, then would read until the next flag. I had created a chart with narrow column for page # (and I wrote page #'s into the book), a column for prediction, another for 'what happened' and the last a yes or no to circle in response to the question: "Was the prediction confirmed in the text?" I planned to make and evaluate four predictions and called upon the class to help make the final prediction. One little girl was really excited to say, "Well, I think Muffy is going start acting all blind and stuff, so her parents will take her to the eye doctor." Totally not what happened, but thinking about kids--what a great, on the money kind of prediction. So I am thinking, these kiddo's will surprise you, even with a pretty predictable text.
