We have begun a literacy unit with Inferencing.

First we discussed the meaning of inferencing and what that looks like while reading. An anchor chart was created as we talked.

 

Then, students were given a bag of items with instructions to use the clues to determine who the bag might belong to.

Here’s what each group had inside their bags:

Students recorded their evidence and made their inferences.  Our next step will be to establish thinking stems to help write our thoughts clearly and with detailed explanations.

Visitors:  What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the students? Who do the bags belong to?
