Prediction prepares you to interact with a text by activating your prior knowledge. 1. Identify three expectations you would have of a text prior to reading.

1. I expect the text to have a clear purpose or main idea that the author is trying to convey.
2. I expect the text to be organized in a logical manner, with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.
3. I expect the text to use language and vocabulary appropriate for the intended audience and to be written in a style that is engaging and easy to understand.

1. Content related to a specific topic: Based on the title or introductory information, you might expect the text to focus on a particular subject or theme.
2. Writing style and tone: Depending on the author and context, you might anticipate a formal, informal, or persuasive tone, as well as specific literary devices or writing techniques.
3. Level of complexity: You might form an expectation about the difficulty of the text based on factors such as vocabulary, sentence structure, or the author's reputation.
