Primary Level
 What has happened:
1- The hungry lion was expecting something tasty to eat. He wanted to eat the Mouse
2- The Mouse promises to bring him something delicious.
3- Finally, the Mouse  saw some animals in the forest, tied them and dragged them towards the lion, hoping that he will eat them.
What is the problem:
1- The mouse offers different dishes, but the Leon does not accept it and roars more and more hard.
2- The Mouse is very afraid because he  doesn't find any food tasty to take to the Lyon.
What will happen:
1- May be the Lion will eat the Mouse 
or
2- The Lion will eat the others animals
or 
3- A hunter will come and catch the Lion, and the Mouse will get away.]]> 2017-10-14 02:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/196993227 In terms of teaching predictions it would be sensible to teach students usage of the adverbs of probability like definitely, perhaps, certainly, possibly, clearly, obviously, maybe. It will make their predictions sound more natural, less modeled. For sure, it requires a more advanced level of students. oll_kozhevnikova https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/197242708 2017-10-16 08:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/197242708 Szalontudo 1947marga https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/203582004 When teaching predictions in the TL, images or stills are a great support to prompt our students to flight their imagination so they can predict what scenario might come after this event. 
In the following attachment you will see how I described the photograph and then what I foresaw what was coming next.]]> 2017-11-05 00:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/203582004 Predicting the future activity esthergombor https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/209754037 I also would suggest that learners draw a simple story board of their prediction, to support the verbal with visuals.]]> 2017-11-23 16:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/209754037 Stephanie Ingerson https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/209816868 2017-11-24 02:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bfieducation/5jixv91idvv0/wish/209816868
