Monday, Feb 13 - Inferencing in short fiction

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze short fiction in order to improve reading comprehensive skills.

DO NOW

Write the definition of inferencing into your notebooks:

INFERENCING (TO INFER) - to make an educated guess about what is happening based on evidence (it is not a random guess). 

When you infer what is happening, it is easier to make a prediction about what will happen next!

Direct Instruction

Inferencing video

Hand out annotation/ active reading strategies sheets  and JANES BACK.

Guided

Read Jane's Back - handout - make inferences and predictions along the way. Be sure to annotate for vocabulary and use the symbols provided or make up your own to note important, surprising or confusing information!

Independent

Plot structure for Jane's Back.....inferencing for falling action is especially important (reread last page).

#13 is to be completed on a separate piece of paper or a NEO.
