READING/COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES - INFERENCING

11/26/2019

VISIBLE THINKING

Today, students learned how to make inferences by using what they already know about various topics. Today, students read, "The Raven and the Loon" and completed their visible thinking after Mr. Hong modelled this to the students. The learning intention today was focused on making inferences using evidence from the text. The students are all developing their visible thinking skills and the improvement was evident today. Keep improving your use of the reading/comprehension strategies! Keep up the good work!

IMPORTANT:

Bring a small sponge tomorrow if you have one at home (dish sponge will do). You will use this to apply the grout on your mosaics!

1.) MATH REVIEW:

Work on your review booklet.
Unit test on Thursday.

2.) LA / NOVEL APPROACH:

Complete your visible thinking activity from today. (INFERENCING).
Remember, you must 'read between the lines' and infer what is being said, but not actually typed out in what you are reading. Base your inferences on what you already know (background knowledge) about something.
Write a short paragraph on what you think the big idea of the story is and why you think this (Raven and the Loon). Provide support/evidence of your 'BIG IDEA'.

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

Today, you learned about inferencing. Watch this video to help you with the PAR.
Based on the examples on this link, complete two questions (or you can make up your own question) and include all points listed in the SUCCESS CRITERIA in your comments.

D.) QUESTION #4: Infer why one of your good friends isn't talking to you today. What can
you infer has happened?
READING - You went to the movies with a different friend yesterday.

What I already know:

I know that my friend (the one who would not talk to me) like to challenge people to duels. Some of the time he wins, while the other times, he loses. When he loses, he becomes salty for a few days. He also does not like to be left out of stuff.
What I infer:

My friend (Jeff) went to the movie with his other friend (Jamie). He met my friend (Bob) and challenged him to a duel. I supported Bob and not Jeff. They dueled in a forest on Pee Pee island. Later they flew back home to Vancouver. Bob and I went to see a movie, but we did not include Jeff. When Jeff heard of this, he became mad and would not talk to me.

Question:My best friend lies in the hospital with a full body cast. What happened to him?

What I read: On the news, it said a random kid fell from a eight story apartment screaming Minecraft. He was found with grey wings and blue pieces of armor.

What I know: My friend plays a lot of Minecraft, and he believes life is Minecraft. He tries to prove that in many ways. He bets that whatever you do in Minecraft, you can do in reality (he lost a lot of bets).

What I infer:
The pair of grey wings on his back is probably a elytra from Minecraft. He wanted to prove that he could fly with a pair of elytra. The blue armor was probably diamond armor from Minecraft. He thinks it should protect him from fall damage. Therefore, my friend tried to fly, but instead he plummeted down and broke a dozen important bones in his body.

A.) QUESTIONS #1: Infer why Mr. Hong is teaching with energy and enthusiasm today! What can you infer?

READING - Mr. Hong bought a new car yesterday. It was the car he always wanted and in his favourite colour.

What I know: I understand that the human mind likes to think that new items are very fun to use, and from what I know buying/ getting a new car must feel great and amazing. And what also may have brightened Mr. Hong's day may have been the fact or possibility that he may have gotten a cheap and good insurance plan.

Inference: Based on the recent information I have gathered. I have come to the most reasonable inference, which illustrates that Mr. Hong has a good day simply because he got a new car, this is going to likely better his mood drastically because now he doesn't need to worry about the upcoming Translink bus strike. And now he won't need to think about getting stuck in traffic.

QUESTIONS #3: Infer why your friend looks very stressed out. What can you infer?

READING - Your best friend just got fired from her job at StarBucks.

What I know: Getting fired from your only job, that provides the money to raise and support your family, must feel like your drowning in debt, simply because you don't have any income anymore. If I lost my job I would definitely go crazy and become stressed for a long time, I may even develop Depression as I am probably going to experience symptoms to severe depression.

Inference: Based on the recent news I heard from my friend, she must feel lonely and sad, so in these moments in someone's life I know it's the time for me as a friend to support and talk them through it and help them out of loneliness. Simplifying everything above she is depressed because she has just experienced job loss first hand, I personally don't know that feeling, but this is what I concluded to.
