Making An Inference

Making An Inference

Today I had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Beaver's room to continue practicing our Yes! MA'AM constructed response and practice making an inference. Students were given the task to read the article, The Snowman. After reading, there task was to make an inference on "How does Mya feel when she sees snow out the window?" They were asked to use details from the text to support there answer. After reading the task, we talked about the word inference and how they will see this word on ILEARN. An inference is using details from the text + their knowledge. To help us see the steps we used Roz Linder's Silhouette to stick on the details in the text that would show how Mya felt. Students marked up the text as we posted these on the silhouette!

We then moved on to writing our constructed response. While working on these, it allowed myself, Mrs. Beavers, and Mr. Forkert to go around and have conversations about their constructed response. See some of the students examples below
