Have you read similar stories? Have you experienced something similar? How might people in real life react to the situation in the story?

How to Make Predictions New Information from Text Compare your prediction to what actually happens in the story. Did the events turn out the way you thought they would? OR Do you need to adjust your prediction?

How to Make Predictions Adjusted Prediction Make new predictions as you continue to read. Now that you have more information, what do you think will happen next?

Lets Practice The Surprise The glare of headlights flashed across the dark room as the car pulled into the driveway. Moving the curtain back slightly, Jane peeked out the window and raised her hand. The five friends grew quiet as they waited for the signal. When Janes thumb went up, Hank lit the candles on the cake, picked up the tray, and moved to the front of the group. The sound of footsteps grew louder and then stopped directly outside the door. Keys jingled, the lock clicked, and the knob started to turn. The wait was finally over. © clipart.com

As the door opened and a hand reached in to flip the light on, the friends yelled, Surprise! and threw confetti toward the startled woman standing in the doorway. Oh, Mrs. Phan, were sorry, Jane explained. We thought you were Amy.
