PredictingQuestioningVisualizing
38PredictingWhat do you think will happen? Plot, character, theme, etc.Why do you make this prediction? 39QuestioningLevel One: literal (what did the third pig use to build his house?)
Level Two: interpretative (what are the qualities that allow the third pig to survive?)
Level Three: universal (why is advanced planning often so difficult for us?)40(Lets watch some film!)Thank-You!
