Making Inferences Using Facts and Evidence

After thinking about what it means to make an inference, we started our lesson by watching a YouTube video on making inferences. The students then provided their "take-away" from the video.

After being introduced to the book, Christopher Reeve A Real-Life Super Hero, we watched a YouTube video from the perspective of Christopher Reeve's son.

The students were then shown a chart that included fact, inference, and evidence.

The lesson was modeled with a read aloud of the introduction of the book. Then, each student was provided a copy of the introduction. As a group, we highlighted facts, produced inferences, and provided evidence to support our ideas and added them to our class chart.

The students were then placed in small groups and provided a different chapter, 1-5. They completed the fact/inference/evidence form as a group by highlighting the facts, forming inferences, and producing evidence for support.

Working together!!
