I can INFER that today was a good day!

11/3/2020

Students inferred this was a liger based on their BK.

Today, students continued their learning of the Novel Approach. Our lesson was about making inferences. Students self-regulated themselves very well throughout the lesson and were able to demonstrate their understanding of making inferences. Thank you to all of the students and their parents/guardians that virtually met with Mr. Hong and Mr. Bains via TEAMS yesterday. We look forward to continuing the goal-setting conferences today!

IMPORTANT:
1.) Goal-Setting Conferences today: 3:15pm Joseph, 3:35 pm Sebastian, 3:55pm Samantha, and 4:15pm Kyle.
2.) Upload your 'GOAL SETTING CONFERENCE' handouts to your personal TEAMS CHANNEL if you haven't done this yet.
3.) COMPLETE ANY OVERDUE WORK. Check your Fresh Grade portfolio for a message from Mr. Bains about the work you've that is overdue.
4.) EARLY DISMISSAL on WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY @ 2:00pm for student goal-setting conferences.

LEARNING:
1.) MATH:

JUMP Math pg.'s 70-71 - complete, mark, and correct.
Review for the divisibility rules quiz tomorrow.

2.) LA/WRITING:

Finish/make edits/revise your SSS based on your self-assessment and feedback from Mr. Bains.
Post a 'ANYONE CAN VIEW' link to your SSS on your FreshGrade 'LA: SCARY SHORT STORY' activity so your parents/guardians can see it.

3.) SOCIAL STUDIES/SCIENCE:

Complete your climate change current events assignment.
Post a 'ANYONE CAN VIEW' link to your SSS on your FreshGrade 'LA: SCARY SHORT STORY' activity so your parents/guardians can see it.

4.) POST A RESPONSE:

Today, we learned about making inferences and how they can help us form a deeper understanding for what we read, watch, or listen to.
Watch the video What is an Inference?
Choose ONE of the following quotes...
When I woke up in the morning, the yard was filled with broken branches and leaves.
"Clean your room this instant or else!" Jesse's mom told her firmly and then slammed the door.
Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher.
Forget-Me-Not - I left one flower on Grandma's coffin: a forget-me-not as if I could.
LEARNING INTENTION: I can make inferences when reading to deepen my understanding.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
1.) Write an inference (e.g. I think this is a minor hockey game because there is skating and a referee. If you watch a professional game it often takes several blows of a whistle before players stop.)
2.) Explain what text clues helped you form your inference.
3.) Explain your background knowledge that connects to your text clues.
4.) Write all of this as a paragraph using proper paragraph structure (intro, body, and conclusion).
5.) Check your work for the givens/conventions of writing (spelling, capitals, sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation.)
6.) Give one student who hasn't received any descriptive feedback one or two things to improve on based on the above criteria.
7.) Edit revise your original paragraph based on the peer-feedback.
8.) Check to make sure you posted your paragraph, posted your peer-feedback, and posted your revised version all on the same stream. Do not start a new stream. Just reply to your original paragraph. Keep your work organized!

This is the quote I picked:
When I woke up in the morning, the yard was filled with broken branches and leaves.

my inference would be that someone had woken up to the beginning of Fall. I think that because in Fall there are leaves and branches everywhere. It would not be the begining of Fall because the beginning of Fall is warm, especially in Canada.

Inferences... Inferences are a guess from evidence and background knowledge. Inferences are used to guess what something is about, for example: Bob was bored. the inference would be: Mabey there was nothing for Bob to do. Its something that I personally find that happens instantly in my head.

This is the quote I picked: When I woke up in the morning, the yard was filled with broken branches and leaves.

This person looks like they waked up to a mid-Fall day, that is why there is leaves and branches. I think its mid-Fall, because in early-Fall does not have leaves often, and late-Fall has more rain than leaves in my opinion, while mid-Fall would be perfect.
Adding to that, in mid-Fall lots of people wake up in mornings since they have work of school.

Thank you for reading!

What is an inference? An Inference is an educated guess that is made with evidence that we read, do or watch using our background knowledge. Inferences are used to help further our understanding and to monitor our comprehension. To infer, you predict the next step while accessing your background knowledge which is knowledge that you have stored in your mind from your life. For example, using this statement: "Clean your room this instant or else!" Jesse's mom told her firmly and then slammed the door.
I infer that a girl called Jesse is in her bedroom and her mother is extremely upset because Jesse's room is very messy.
I used my background knowledge to make a connection with Jesse and her messy room, and then I made an inference.
Inferences are used everyday in your life even in you do not realize it. They are essential as it will help guide you to your next step.

When someone does something, do you assume the situation? Do you see people on the streets yelling at each other and think that one of them pissed the other off? Inference is an educated guess that is based on evidence in the situation. For example, let’s say that students cleaned their desks and said goodbye to their teachers. One may assume that it is the end of the school year or that their going on a break for a month or so. That is an inference, we assume what is going on since they said goodbye to the teacher while cleaning out their desk. Maybe it could be that they’re having a desk switch, but we normally wouldn’t say goodbye to our teacher. They could have said, bye, see you tomorrow and have a good day are more relevant in my opinion. Though I do have to say, some do say ‘goodbye’ to their teachers, it’s not like saying goodbye is weird compared to bye. By that means, I am guessing what is most frequently used and using it to how I see the situation. An inference is a guess that is based on what things are going on and it’s not always going to be correct, we humans assume a lot and we will think we are right even when we aren’t.

Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher.
I am inferring that they are saying goodbye to their elementary school teacher for the last time because they are heading to high school. I think this because... 1st I think they are at school because they are saying goodbye to a teacher. 2nd, I think they are in elementary school because they are emptying their desk. To my experience, only elementary schools have desks assignments that are somewhat stationary. 3rd I think they are heading to grade 8 because they are saying goodbye to their teacher, but this one is up for debate.
My background knowledge on this comes from, well being in school for most of my life. My brother is in high school so I know 1 or 2 things about that too. Inferences are educated guesses, our class has been practising them for quite a while now, and I hope to improve on them.

My quote is the forget-me-not one. I think that based on the fact that the grandma is in a coffin, she is dead. I think that the character is at her funeral, and that he/she is putting a forget-me-not flower on top, maybe because forget-me-nots were her favourite flower when she was alive. I also think that maybe his/her grandma was extra special to them, as when the quote says "as if I could", it is implying that he could never forget her. I think that maybe they also had some sort of inside joke or connection to forget-me-nots, as well as them being his/her grandma's favourite flower.

Do you know how to make a inference? Well, making inferences are guesses based on the evidence in the situation. While making inferences, there are no right or wrong answers. If you can explain your thoughts and opinion you have the right answer! For example, the quote I choose was (" Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher"). When I read through this sentence, I started to make Inferences. One of my thoughts about this sentence is, maybe all the kids are cleaning out there desk and heading back home because of the new Virus COVID 19. This is also a connection I had. Last year, our class had to clean out all of our desk and sanitize them because we had to make sure that everything must stay clean. My second thought was, maybe the kids where packing up all there belongings to head out to high school. Overall making inferences is a great way to share your own thoughts, make connections and understand the paragraph/sentence more!

Kyle

Something I can fix in my writing is to write a more engaging hook, so it can catch the readers eyes. Secondly, I think I can work on using more descriptive words in my paragraph!

Taiki

11/3/2020 05:28:36 pm

How would you make an inference? For instance, from the quote "Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher." I can infer that "we" are graduating students who are saying goodbye to their teachers because usually those are the times when students clean out their desks completely. Also, you can say that these students got in trouble and got suspended from school, which also explains why they cleaned out their desks and said goodbye to their teacher. This is the inference I made. What is yours?

Kyle redo

Have you ever made and inference and do you know what a inference mean? Well, making inferences are guesses based on the evidence in the situation. While making inferences, there are no right or wrong answers. If you can explain your thoughts and opinion you have the right answer! Also w e have been making inferences when we where born! Like today, we where making inferences while reading the sentence about if its a bear, dragon, lion, etc. For example, the quote I choose was (" Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher"). When I read through this sentence, I started to make Inferences. One of my thoughts about this sentence is, maybe all the kids are cleaning out there desk and heading back home because of the new Virus COVID 19. This is also a connection I had.

I have some feedback! You put unnecessary capitals in some places like "the new Virus COVID 19" virus, shouldn't be capitalized. Besides that your paragraph is really nice! I like your inferences!

Jacqueline

11/3/2020 07:07:53 pm

What is an inference you may ask? An inference is a brief conclusion based on previous experiences, observations, connections, knowledge, and an educated guess. Inferences are important because they help us imply information instead of just directly stating the message. Therefore, this strategy can improve conclusions and accessing background knowledge as well as monitoring our comprehension! An example for this topic that I chose was “Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher.” My first inference is that this took place at school in a classroom, and the students are about to leave. This could be at the end of any school day because the students said goodbye to their teacher, but the quote also states that they cleaned out their desks. Which allows me to access my background knowledge because from my experience, we clean out our desks when we get ready for summer break at the end of every school year. So I am going to assume that they cleaned out their desks and said goodbye to their teacher because of a school break from my connections. Another inference I can make is that they cleaned out their desks because of COVID-19 purposes, and to monitor cleanliness. Which is very important at this time. To summarize, those are all of my inferences for this specific quote but this is a brief example of what inferences are!

I am pretty sure we all make inferences. We might be making inferences without even knowing what they are! Inferences are predictions based on connections and background knowledge. These inferences are based on you and what you think of a situation. "Clean your room this instant or else!" Jesse's mom told her firmly and then slammed the door. When you read that phrase, what inferences can you make? For me, I'd think of a mother telling their child to clean their room. But because the child was being stubborn and refusing to clean their room, the mother got furious and slammed the door shut. I can relate because I sometimes don't clean my room and my room would get pretty messy if I don't clean it. When I don't, my mother would constantly tell me to clean my room. In conclusion, inferences are predictions based on the knowledge you've developed. They are great and useful for you and will be for the years to come.

Roy

11/3/2020 07:54:27 pm

Do you know how to make inferences? We make inferences by using our own background knowledge with text evidence to make predictions. Inferences are completely our own opinions and has no wrong answers.
The quote I chose was "Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher."
I believe that the students are graduating. From the text, I could tell that they weren't going to return to the classroom anymore, for it says how they cleaned out their desks. Another piece of evidence is how they said goodbye to their teaches, since listing that action emphasizes how they may not meet again. I can connect to this because every single year before summer break, we always clean out our desks and have a special goodbye party.

Roy

I believe that I should add a conclusion.

Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher

After reading this quote, it makes me think, last day of school.
Clean out desks. That reminds me of how every year, we clean our desks out before we go on breaks. It is on those days that we also say bye to our teachers. In Canada, we have three breaks. Winter, Spring and Summer. Winter and Spring are both two weeks long, and Summer break is two months. Summer stands as a break between school years. When I think about last days at school I think about being sad and happy at the same time. This is because I am sad that the last day with my class is over, but I am excited about the summer break. I am inferring that the people cleaning out the desks and saying bye to their teachers are excited for the Summer. I guess that it is Summer. Reading this quote made me think about last days in a class.

Inferences is when we find clues of something and determine what it means. For example, Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher. In my opinion, I think that the kids were getting ready and leaving school. I have two reasons for this. First is because the kids are cleaning up the desks, and normally people at school clean up their desks for the night. Also, why would people clean up desks in other parts of the day? Reason number 2, saying goodbye to your teacher would normally indicate that you will not see that person in a while, or in a period of time.

I have another theory, that there was a storm at night and when she or he woke up there were leaves and branches everywhere and it looked absolutedly horrible but i guess the autmn one is better, more peaceful anyway!

Today in class we learned about "Making Inferences" what this means is basically making a scientifical guess, a scientifical guess is a guess with information that are true that backs up the guess making it not just a guess but maybe a correct guess, when making a inference, hold on a minuet....I gotta show a example! Here is a example: Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher. Based on this we can tell some things like how you clean out your desks the day before summer and say goodbye to your teaches/friends and i think it is pretty obvious that Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher, means going to summer break and cleaning out your desks so its not messy when someone else comes to the calss and you move ON a grade. After all taht explaining I think you should understand what a "inference" is. I think it is very useful because you can guess the right answer before actually knowing it!

Inferences could be made when reading quotes. “Yesterday, we cleaned our desks and said goodbye to our teacher” was the quote I picked. I think that the students in the quote cleaned their desks and said goodbye to their teacher before they left for a break. I think this because they cleaned out their desks which means that they probably brought the things in their desks with them. They also said goodbye to their teacher which is something that happens at the end of the day or school year. Over the last few years when the school year was ending, me and my classmates had to clean out our desks and bring the things in them home. We also said goodbye to our teacher when we headed out the door. Overall, inferences could be made when reading quotes

Has your mom ever said, "Clean your room this instant or else!" Well let me tell you my mom has said that to me many times and I never listened. One day guest were coming over so I had to clean up the house and my room which was very messy. I said i'll do it later but my mom got so frustrated at me she said, "Anureet go clean your room right now and I am not repeating myself!" So I marched upstairs and cleaned my room.

Inference: I think the mom is really mad because the kid was not listening to her and she didn't want to repeat herself again and again. So she took the kid to her room and slammed the door and gave the kid a lecture about listening and said firmly if you do not listen to me you will have consequences. Slammed the door again and left.

BK: My mom has said this to me many times like I said in the beginning. She does get really mad and I feel like throwing stuff but now I listen (sometimes).

Always listen to your parents when they are telling you to clean your room or to pick up the dishes. Help them out!

Wen i woke up in the morning, the yard was filled with broken branches and leaves.

my inference: that night there was high winds of a storm in the middle of the night and when she/he woke up there was some broken branches in there backyard from the night before.

my bk: my background connection this was not over night but in the middle of the day. I was in surrey and very high winds hit when i was in gr 5 it almost nocked me over while waiting for the bus and when we got to school there was branches ( small ones and some large ones because our school was right beside a small is forest) and a lot of leaves.

BK: My BK connection was not over night but in the middle of the day. I was in surrey gr 5 so that day there was very high winds and they almost knocked me over while waiting for the buss after school. The next day at school there where broken branches and leaves on the school grounds.( My school was beside a small-ish forest so there was a mix of large and small branches.)

I think this is after a small earthquake or storm because there’s a lot of broken branches everywhere but it could also be when fall started since there’s also leaves.

Melissa

Did you know you make inferences every day? Inferences are when we make conclusions based with evidence. The quote I chose to make an inference on is “I woke up in the morning, the yard was filled with broken branches and leaves”

My inference: I think this is after a small storm because there’s broken branches and branches don’t break easily, it could also be the start of fall because theres leaves on the ground and the branches could be from high wind since you get a lot of wind in fall.

My text evidence: I thought of a small storm because I know branches don’t break easily, and I thought it could also be the start of fall since there’s a lot of wind maybe enough to break some small branches and that would also explain the leaves.

How do you make inferences? I am going to make a inference. I am going to make a inference from: Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher. In this sentence, I can infer that this is the day before summer break. I think that cleaning out desks and saying goodbye to our teacher happens only before summer break. Before summer break, we take out things we have in our desks, and bring it home. We also say goodbye to our teachers because we won't see them until september and we may be not in their class next year. My BK for this is that I cleaned out our desks and said goobye to our teachers every year before summer break. Overall, this is a example of a Inference!

Nathan

What is an inference? An inference is a reading strategy that uses Background Knowledge and Text Clues to find out what it is or what will happen in the future. These are very useful when you're reading a book. For example if the book says: "He was hit. Hard" then we know that person will feel a lot of pain Now that I've explained what an inference is, I will demonstrate one to you

Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher.

I think that this situation here is about students leaving for a long period of time. I know that because of my Background Knowledge and by the Text Clue "We cleaned out our desks" that we don't clean all our tables unless we have a holiday of some sort. It would probably be the Summer holiday or the quarantine that happened because of the "virus". That was my inference on
"Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher" What is your inference of this sentence?

What is an inference? An inference is a reading strategy that uses Background Knowledge and Text Clues to find out what it is or what will happen in the future. These are very useful when you're reading a book. For example if the book says: "He was hit. Hard" then we know that person will feel a lot of pain Now that I've explained what an inference is, I will demonstrate one to you

Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher.

I think that this situation here is about students leaving for a long period of time. I know that because of my Background Knowledge and by the Text Clue "We cleaned out our desks" that we don't clean all our tables unless we have a holiday of some sort. It would probably be the Summer holiday or the quarantine that happened because of the "virus". That was my inference on the quote:
"Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher" What is your inference of this sentence? What will your next inference?

What is an inference?
The inference is just like the background knowledge in LA-reading. We don’t know what happen. We guess what happen. Imagine the scene of the things happen that day. 😊

Yesterday, we cleaned out our desks and said goodbye to our teacher.

I think is the students was graduation. And they cleaned out their desks like we take our homework to home and said goodbye to Mr. Hong and Mr. Bains. We do it every day. Why I think they are graduation? Because there is a “yesterday” in the sentence. So it mean they didn’t clean their desks and say goodbye to their teacher today. That is Because they are graduation.

I chose the quote "Clean your room this instant or else!" Jesse's mom told her firmly and then slammed the door. I can infer that Jesse's mom has been constantly been telling Jesse to clean his room because she wouldn't be this mad if she told him for the first time. I got to this conclusion because if my mom tells me to do something the first time she doesn't get mad but if she tells me for the fifth time she is usually pretty mad, same thing with my dad. One other thing that I can infer about is that Jesse's room is very messy even though it doesn't say that because why else would Jesse's mom tell him to clean him room. It didn't say that his room was messy but I was able to infer. I think that the big idea is that you should listen to ur parents so that they don't get mad at you.

I think that I could have not used abbreviations but it is because I was texting at the same time so i accidentally did it. I also forgot to use more transition words. I also could have said to sum up or a concluding transition instead of I think the big idea is...
