Introduction
(3 minutes)
- Tell students that today they will be practicing making inferences. Remind students that an inference is a conclusion you draw based on reasoning and evidence. It is not something that is stated explicitly. Write the definition on the board in student-friendly terms.
- Provide an example of an inference for students (e.g., "I think it's cold outside, because when I look out the window I see a lot of gray clouds in the sky."). Explain that when you made a guess based on evidence, you were making an inference.
- Display the I Can Make Inferences: Concept Web worksheet and review all the ways that students can make inferences.
