Answer:
You probably make predictions all the time: You may predict which team
will win a sports event, or you might predict that your friend Jeff will ask
Lily to the prom. Making predictions about life is fun, and doing so keeps
you involved in what’s going on around you. The same holds true when
you make predictions about stories you read—you become involved with the
characters and their experiences as you try to predict what they will do next.
Make predictions as you read “Lamb to the Slaughter.” Fill out a chart like
