A new comprehension strategy that we worked on this month is inferring. We infer when we are thinking deeply as we read. Inferring is when we get clues from the text and pictures and use our schema (what we think we know) to understand what the author is trying to say.
We read the poem called
Things by Eloise Greenfield and practiced inferring.
In the first stanza we inferred that the author ate the candy. We read the second stanza and used our schema and the author's clues to infer what happened to the sandhouse.
We found out that many of us inferred different things, based on our personal schema.
 |
| Some of us inferred that another person wrecked the sandhouse. |
 |
| Some of us inferred that the child had to leave the beach. |
 |
| Some of us inferred that it got washed away. |
 |
| Some of us inferred that the wind blew the sandhouse away. |
What could you infer about these pictures?
