Students can activate their prior knowledge by discussing the text and what they already know about some of the features that come up. Students can make predictions together about what the story is about and help each other form mental images about the setting, characters and storyline by exploring maps of the area, pictures of Métis people and historical data. Students can complete a Think/Pair/Share with an elbow partner before beginning a Read Aloud with the class. Students will then share ideas with the class to confirm predictions made.
