Title of Lesson Inferencing

Standards 2W7: Recall and represent relevant information from experiences or gather
information from provided sources to answer a question.
2W6: Develop questions and participate in shared research and explorations to
answer questions and build knowledge.

6: Make Inferences.
Criterion: Students will demonstrate the ability to accurately make inferences by
using relevant clues in the text, combining them with prior knowledge, and
articulating these inferences effectively.

By the end of the guided reading, second-grade students accurately make

inferences by using relevant clues in the text, combining these clues with their
prior knowledge, and effectively articulating their inferences using prompts and
references to Anchor Chart 6: Make Inferences.

Prior Instruction Teacher;

● Explains to the students what making inferences means.
● Defines it simply, as "making educated guesses based on clues from the
text and what you already know."
● Clarifies the concept of clues and evidence.
● Discusses examples of clues they might find in a text, such as descriptive
words, actions, or characters' reactions.
 ● Encourages students to brainstorm and share their ideas.
● Provides interactive examples of making inferences.
● Helps the students understand that they already make inferences daily.
● Discusses situations where they have to make educated guesses based on
available information, like predicting the weather based on the sky or
guessing someone's emotions based on their expressions.
● Reviews the key points discussed and emphasizes the importance of
attention to text details.
● Summarizes the concept of making inferences and clarifies any questions
or concerns the students may have.
