Making Predictions

Connected-level 3-Border Security -  It seemed like a good idea at the time. By  Browen wall

WALT:I am learning to make predictions on the text by looking at the title,subtitles and visual cues.

I  predict that this article is about keeping animals safe. The main reason why I thought that it was about this was because of the visual cues. I also predict that something scary is going to happen because some animals creep around at night. I also think this is about animals looking for food and killing other animals to eat.

Shark Day by Lani Young

WALT: I am learning to make predictions on the text by looking at the title, subtitles and the visual cues.  

I predicted that this article was about some type of ceremony and sharks because in the pictures, I could see people sitting down together listening to a person speaking to them. That person looked like a leader or chief. The other picture has a shark feeding on something and some people are looking at it in surprise.

After reading the text, I found out that there was a ceremony where one of the characters became a chief.

The shark was feeding on pig guts that were thrown in the sea after the people killed a pig for the feast to welcome the new chief.

Connected - Level 3 - Boarder Security - It seemed like a good idea at the time by Bronwen Wall

WALT: I am learning to make predictions on the text by looking at the tittle, subtitles and the visual cues.

I predicted that this article is about....

• Fast running animals get hungry because they run too much. 
• Rabbits arrived in New Zealand in the 1940s. 
• Rabbits and different kinds of animals getting introduced to New Zealand. 
• Ferrets, Weasels and Stoats came to New Zealand in a ship. 
• Farmers are happy because the harmful animals are dieing. 
• Ferrets got sick and passed its illness on to other ferrets on the ship.
• Stoats ate rats and mouses.

After I read the article, I found out that.......

Between 1884 and 1886, around 4000 ferrets, 3100 weasels, and 140 stoats were set free onto New Zealand. Animals travelling by sea needed to be well fed, comfortable, and calm. Ferrets, Stoats, and Weasels all belong to the mustelid family. There are 54 species in this family, including Badgers and Otters.
