Inferring | Reading Strategy

Inferring is a reading strategy where you use your prior knowledge to figure something that is not told. 

We first started with the 'What can you tell?' activity. There are four images that we inferred. To infer we needed to start with using our prior knowlegde. Then we needed to make our inference by using our prior knowledge.

After that activity we did the 'Inference Quiz'. There were five bodies of text that had two questions each. We inferred things about the text and we included the two clues that lead to our inference.

When we finished the inference quiz, we made our inferring poster. The inferring poster had an image that people can infer things about. We also put a potential inference on the poster.
