In our Literacy workshops this week we developed a deeper understanding of prediction strategies. As readers we use headings, titles, key words, visuals and our prior knowledge to predict what information is contained in a text. By accessing their prior knowledge, students make a deeper connection with the text. The text we used this week focused on gravity. This followed on from the discussion in last week's workshop about data charts.
The students also reviewed how settings are created in a narrative, with a specific focus on the use of adverbs and adverbial phrases. Adverbs and adverbial phrases help provide the details about where and how the action takes place. This will lead into more narrative writing next week.
