Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Practice the reasoning steps of making an inference (why, where, when, what will happen) using the supplied sentence prompts

Teaching tips

  • Read the printed sentence aloud and model one plausible inference before students write.

  • Compare different responses and distinguish what the sentence states from what students infer.

  • Use the party-page question bubbles to plan several possible explanations; there is no single supplied answer key.

Skills covered

  • Inference reasoning — students work through why, where, when, and what-will-happen prompts to explain what a given sentence implies beyond its literal words.
