Activity Overview


During this short story, students are going to make many predictions, as to what they think is going to happen next. Illustrating these predictions is a great idea for a storyboard. Plan on specific stopping points while reading, and have your students predict what will happen. They will illustrate their prediction in a storyboard cell and use evidence from the text, or prior knowledge, to back up their prediction.

The main focus for this example storyboard is what might happen if the family befriends the mongoose, Rikki-tikki. As the father points out, the animal is wild. He could be tame, or he could be wild and dangerous. Once the family feeds Rikki-tikki and nurse him back to health, then Rikki-tikki could possibly do one of two things: he could protect the family from deadly snakes, or he could attack Teddy.
