Counting Kākahi-Predicting

Morena!

This week we were focusing on making predictions.  Predicting is imagining or guessing whats going to happen next in the text by photos, Titles graphs, etc. We are reading the book Counting Kākahi, Kākahi is kind of like a mussel, Its a small creature living in a shell. 

My predictions:

• I  think the numbers are dropping because of people taking them too early and  their young and because the water might be polluted. 

I got this prediction by how the narrator really cared for kākahi throughout the texts and the paragraph saying why the numbers are dropping.

• I predict that they grow rings around themselves every couple of years so that people can tell how old they are.

My prediction was close since each year they grow a ring so you can see how old they are. I got clues for this by the photo  the right and some of the text.  

• 
  

• I think that they moved down the river because they are looking for more food.

I got my hints from the graph and from skimming through the text. This sentence popped out to me  “there weren't many juveniles”. So that show i got this prediction.

Where do you make Predictions in every day life?
