| Section 1.1 Assignment Part A: A Man Who Had No Eyes |
Introduction
Making predictions about the characters, plot, setting, or outcome of a story is an excellent active reading strategy. As an active reader you want to read carefully to see if your predictions are correct. It's like predicting the ending of the last Harry Potter book, or who will win the Stanley Cup, or what will happen in a season finale. Making predictions is something that we do all the time, and is something that quickly engages us when reading.
Read actively and enjoy the story!
