HOTS: PREDICT
Section Title – Turn the students’ attention to the heading of the section. Ask them what
they think is in the lake. Remind them of their answers at the end of the section to see how
many of the students were correct.
Pre-Reading
1. Let’s Read!
Have the students look at the pictures and try to predict what the
text is going to be about. Ask them what they think the section title
has to do with the movie being made here.
AI: Students understand
the general meaning,
main ideas and the
sequence of events in a
text, and use this
knowledge as needed.
