5. Materials and Aids-
|
Promethean board
Document camera
Hand-out |

|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| Promethean board power point lesson on the difference between an
inference and a prediction. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1.Teacher explains definition to inference
2.Teacher states that students must use strategies to make an inference
3.Give oral example: Parents told you to wear a warm coat, a hat and
gloves when you go outside. Ask children orally what parents are trying
to tell them. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1.Review steps of finding important details, words or clues and
making a connection to the text with what they know.
2. Put up a sentence on the document camera and read it orally to
them. "In the cloud of gunfire, he longed to hear the voices of his
family but he heard only the sounds of the enemy's horses."
3.Teacher guides students to find the important words: Underline:
gunfire,he longed to hear the voices of his family, enemy's horses-Brief

4. Make connections to words and phrases
5. Look at sentence and make an inference, guiding the students to

D. Independent Practice-
1.Review how to make inference-important words or clues and making
a connection
2. Pass out hand-out of sentence (preselected)
3. Show sentence on document camera.Read sentence to them and then
have them read aloud with me.
"These athletes train a great deal. They eat a very healthy diet.
Some compete in short races and others compete in long races called
marathons."
4. Turn to a "buddy" and underline the important words or clues. Then

a connection.
5.Ask each group to write their inference at the bottom of sheet. |

F. Checking for understanding-
1.Teacher observation
2.Rubric
3.Children come up to Promethean board and decide whether preselected
sentences are inferences or predictions.

G. Closure-
1.Review beginning of power point lesson on inferences
2.Review essential question and have students give oral answer.
|
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
1.Rubric
2.Participation during guided practice lesson and participation when
working in cooperative pairs.
