Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
- Infer an unstated event or destination from situational and dialogue clues in a short text
- State a text-based prediction in a complete written response
- Translate a textual inference into a visual representation through drawing
Teaching tips
- Read the story aloud first and ask pupils to name the two clues (the heat, the towel) before they write, since the whole task depends on noticing both details.
- Have pupils share their drawings and compare predictions, since the passage supports more than one reasonable inference.
Skills covered
- Reading inference — pupils use situational and dialogue clues in the Josh story to determine an event the text never states directly.
- Evidence-based prediction — pupils write a short response naming where they think the pair is headed.
- Visual comprehension — pupils draw the destination they inferred, translating a textual conclusion into an image.
