How it works
Every day, you read a story about one famous person.

1. Reading: One student reads the story aloud.
2. Predicting: The teacher asks: “Predict what happens to the famous person.”
3. Writing: Students write their predictions – giving three bits of evidence.
4. The Surprise Ending: The teacher reads aloud what the famous person actually did.
5. Character Education: Students evaluate the character and values of the famous person.

If your class is high tech, throw the story onto the screen while you read it aloud.
