Predict what will happen on the next page of the big book by using the picture clues.
Identify at least three uses of air (breathing, cooling, blowing) by pointing to pictures and naming them.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Take learners through pre-reading activities to activate the prior knowledge. In the "While reading", let learners predict what they think would happen before reading each page of the big book. When learners predict come true, let them justify it before they predict the content of the subsequent pages. Use picture clue to assist the understanding of the uses of air (breathing, cooling, funning, etc.) as well as the content. Have learners illustrate and label their favourite part of the text read. Have them tell and count the experiment on the presence of air read about. Guide
learners identify and describe how the experiments were sequenced in the text using positional words/phrases
