“I want you to take out a piece of paper and a pen or pencil

and write down any observations you have of the scenario in
front of you. You will record those observations down on the
piece of paper. You will have 5 minutes to write down as
much observation as you can.”

“Ok, Put your pen or pencil down. You will now write down a
few inferences based on the observations you have made
about the scenarios. It can be positive or negative inferences
that you make. A situation can go either way.”

o Students should have approx. 3-5 min. to write down

inferences.
o Students should have at least two or more inference
written down.

“Can anyone tell me what an inference is? Is there negative

and positive inferences? Yes.”

“Can I have some volunteers to give me an inference that they

have made?”

Closure:
“Inferring can happen anytime when you read, when you see
something, or when you hear something. Is there positive and
negative inferences. Yes. So when you are reading, try to
make some inferences before you go to the next page and
see if you are right or wrong, or making positive or negative
inferences.”

Provide an alternative for the students that cannot read like a

Student picture or something.
Accommodations If student struggle with this lesson, I will make
accommodations according to the student needs.
