Third, we bring our knowledge together to figure out what the author means. Teacher reminds students to look at the strategy poster for help when they need it. In order to practice what you've just learned, work with your partner to find other places to inference in the story. Sample the chart on the board. Students complete chart as teacher rotates to monitor.
Volunteers share what they've found.
The teacher asks one student to summarize the strategy and its purpose and refers to the poster one last time. The teacher will check student's inferencing charts to ensure that they've found at least 3 more examples of inferred meaning and that they've explained them correctly.
