This term we began a new novel. Rather than give the children the title of the novel or show them the front cover and get them to predict what our novel is about, the children were given a wordle to predict and make inferences on what the novel may be about. We also provided them with an alternative front cover to help them come up with a title for our class novel. The predictions and inferences were written by the children on the wrapped novels and once they had finally made predictions the time had come to unwrap the novels. Needless to say the children were on the edge of their seats in anticipation of uncovering what our class novel was and whether their predictions were accurate!
