In situation where it is possible ,that is, where students are all reading at about the same pace,they can be asked to predict the likely course of events near the begining,then again at later stages of their reading.This forters momentum,and it can take the form of oral work,with the teacher or,better still,one of the learners asking appropriate questions:what is going to happen?what is likely to be the fate of X...? Choices could be offered: Here are there possibilities...which do you think is the most likely?why?
