2. Prediction Table:

To make a prediction table, you look at the beginning of the story and guess what might happen next, then explain why you think so.

Here's how you can set up your prediction table based on the first part of the story (panels 1 and 2):

• What I know/see (from the beginning of the story): The lion caught a mouse but let it go after the mouse promised to help him one day. The lion laughed at the idea because the mouse was so small.
• What I predict will happen next: I predict that the lion will get into trouble, and the small mouse will find a way to help him, proving that even a small creature can be a big help.
• Why I predict that: The mouse made a clear promise to help, and in stories like this, promises are usually kept. Also, the lion's laughter suggests he underestimates the mouse, which often sets up a situation where the smaller character proves their worth.

After making your prediction, you would then read the rest of the story (panels 3-6) to see if your prediction was correct.
