inferencing
By tia

Clip to ScrapBook   
inference is a reading skill--in my state it falls under the category of Interpretive Reading (figuring out what's going on from clues the author gives you).

we all use inference in our daily lives--i see people
in cars around me pull over, i assume an emergency vehicle is on its way. my sons look at me with my crossed arms and frowning face and realize that they are in trouble.

i use a cartoon image to get my students started with inference--it a picture of a guy about to whack a computer with a giant hammer--i have them tell me what's going on and why.

i also have students solve
and write inference riddles. i have a fuzzy outside but a hard heart. i am juicy and pair up well with cream. what am i? (peach)

i too don't know this grasp/performance task, but maybe something i've shared will help you out.
