1. Read out the list of Predicting Behaviours and Understandings. These come from The F and P Continuum Guided Reading Section Thinking Beyond The Text : Predicting: Level S

2. Examine each prediction by your group members. As a group come to consensus as to which of the Predicting Behaviours were in use when each prediction was made.

3. Record any conclusions or summary thoughts you may have once each member's prediction has been analysed.

4. Return to the main group to hear the end of the story.

List of Predicting Behaviours and Understandings

1. Make predictions based on personal experience, previous reading, and content area study.

2. Make predictions throughout a text based on the organizational structure (i.e., narrative; expostitory).

3. Justfy predictions with evidence from the text.

4. Make Predictions based on the panels in a graphic text.

5. Predict the ending of a story based on understanding of different kinds of narrative structure and understanding of setting, plot, and characters.

6. Make predictions based on knowledge of the characteristics of fiction and nonfiction generes, as well as an understanding of and experience reading different types of fiction texts such as mystery or survival stories.

7. Predict potential solutions to the problem in the story and discuss the likelihood of alternatives.

8. Use previous reading of a book in a series to predict types of characters and plots in a sequel or another book in the series.

9. Make predictions based on plot structure: e.g. predict connections between characters and events in a text with circular plot, parallel plots, main plot and subplot.

10. Make predictions based on knowledge of special forms: e.g., letters diaries, and journal entries; photo essays and news articles.

11. Make predictions based on knowledge of underlying text structures: e.g., description, cause and effect, chronological sequence, temporal sequence, categorization, comparison and contrast, problem and solution, question and answer.

I think that the mother is going to go into labour because the baby sister has been mentioned in the text constantly. Francie also asked the mother a few pages back about when the baby is going to come.

Difficult to make a conclusive prediction and come to a consensus. Some predictions were:
- The car might break down due to the rain: the prediction is made based on the fact that the setting and background is given and the scene is set for action or a problem.
- Point 9 and 5: based on plot structure, context - The idea of a journey, long drive, the conversation - waiting for dad, younger sister, previous conditioning about rain and it's association with trouble makes us predict that they will probably face a problem.
- The mother delivers the baby in the car, in the rain
- The girl is kidnapped, lost
- They get stuck in the rain and have to spend the night in the woods or in their car
- Maybe nothing happens. The rain stops, sun comes out and they reach home.
- They take a wrong turn and reach a new place.
- Point 1: based on personal experience
- Point 6: predictions based on the knowledge of traits of a genre, author

I think, there could be an accident or the mother will give birth to Francei's sister.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Francie's mom will go into labour and deliver her baby in the road.
2. There's an accident where one or more of the characters die.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the mother will reveal the name as she was thinking and the child had asked about it. Probably they will also meet the dad soon. The child had been waiting and longing for it. There was warmth and love throughout the book.

By the time mum refueling her car, all the trucks would have moved forward, that made it easier for mum and the child reach home by evening. Daddy is already there waiting eagerly for them. They all are delighted to see each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that either's mom's delivery will happen on the way , the baby would join the family and it becomes a complete home in the raint with Francie writing the names of all the family members or it could be that they meet with an accident and there is an unhappy ending.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the child is just going to erase the things written on the windows and keep moving from window to window to look outside .

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that after refueling, the car would just move on and they family would decide on names for the newborn

Francie will continue to play in the paddle as he observes the different colours from the leaked petrol. His mother will call him back once the petrol and reveal the name of his sister as they are going back home and meet the father on teh way or as a surprise at home.

F and P Strategies:
1. The title
2. The based on the plot (9)
3. Based on underlying text - chronological sequence (11)

Francie jumps into the puddle resulting in rainbow. She tells her mother if she can keep the baby's name 'Rainbow', the mother is touched and agrees unlike before when she said that the baby isn't here yet. They are both very happy and set off for their home.

Sonia:                               Looking at Francie so happy dancing and jumping up and down the muddy puddles, her mom asks her what a suitable name for the child could be. Considering the space on the window , they decide on a name that fits right in the space.

I think while Francie is playing in the puddle, mother might show some signs of pain. Francie will ask her to wait for sometime and show her the beautiful colours which she can see and suggest her sister's name as 'Fairy'

# data[].attributes.body
they start moving ahead but due to water logging their car breaks down. Francie is upset so the mother comforts Her by thinking the name of the new baby

# data[].attributes.body
something untoward happens to the child while the mother is so lost in her own thoughts

The predictions were quite similar and the predicting behaviours were the same. We all agreed that the story seemed to have a certain gloominess in the atmosphere. The Peaceheaven sign seemed to be significant to the story. Though, the mention of the field mouse escaping the eagle seems to indicate that there might be a saving grace.

Looking at the title it seems the rain might not stop, it is not very comfortable for the mother as she is heavily pregnant. She is trying her best to engage the child in maintaining the joy inside the car by bringing her attention to the landscape, events around, thinking about the name of the unborn baby sister.

Predictions
1. Car breaks down. They look for a shelter.
2. The mother goes into labour and the child becoming friends with the other kids around.
3. Reach home safely and are surprised to see father waiting for them back from his trip.
4.

i referred to the title of the story....
am a little off track in my prediction

By default some of the behaviours are evident, however we are wondering about what might be some specific questions and strategies that we may use with kids to bring about such behaviours and thinking in students while doing prediction at different points of time in the story/text.

Because of heavy rains they are stuck on the road. There is heavy traffic. The title Home in the Rain made me think that probably for a while they were there and thus it was like their car standing there was their home.
