Discussing the Illustration on the Cover and Predicting What the Story May Be About

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

• 1. describe the illustration on the cover;

• 2. make predictions bases on the clues; and

• 3. write simple predictions based on the book covers.

Generalization

When you look at the cover of a book, it can give you an impression whether the story will be interesting or not. Also, looking at illustration, picture or title of the book can help you predict the possible story or information to be provided. The title page that contains the illustration gives you a clue or an idea on what the book is all about. This illustration is carefully chosen and drawn to express the main idea and interesting part of the story.

In making predictions, you need to do two things;

Questions:

Let us answer the question....

Open Ended

1. Who do you think won the race?

Open Ended

2. What do you feel when you win a race?

Remember!

• Predictions are possibilities that may happen in the story. They are like intelligent guess that is based on the clues in the text or in the illustration. You can predict the next event, the ending, and possible solution to the problem posed.

• Making predictions helps you pay attention to stories as you listen and read them. You can use the cover, title, or illustration to guess what might happen in the story.

Remember!

• When you make predictions, it is important to explain, or describe, why you think your predictions might be true.

• Remember these two steps in making prediction. First, study the clues in the pictures, and use your own experiences or background knowledge. If these two are combined, you can make good predictions about the story.

Clues:

• I see a turtle and a rabbit.

• The rabbit mentioned about the race.

• I see the turtle smiling and holding a trophy.

Personal Experience and Understanding

• What I know about the race is that it is about a game where the first player who reaches the finish line wins.

• I also know that rabbits run faster than turtle.

• Based on the illustration, I think "the turtle will win the race because he seems happy and he is holding the trophy".

Look at picture, from here, this is the clue:

• I see a girl holding a puppy in a birthday party.

• The girl is so happy while carrying the puppy.

• I see some balloons and party hats. 

Personal Experience and Prediction!

• 1. It seems there is a birthday party because of the gifts and decorations.

• 2. During birthday party, the celebrant is the happiest person.

• My prediction is that the girl received a gift because she is so happy, and the scene is festive.
