  1. Clues From Picture + Prior Knowledge =INFERENCE Joan Kelly

  2. Desired Outcomes • Based on the needs of students, the comprehension strategy of Inferring was chosen. • Guiding Question – How will students be able to connect their prior knowledge with clues from the text in order to develop inferential thinking ?

  3. Text Selection • These students have difficulty with vocabulary . Because of this , I chose a wordless picture book Mysteries of Harris Burdick. The text frees the student to infer by using his prior knowledge and clues from a richly detailed picture without having the difficulty of unknown vocabulary slowing down their ability to comprehend .

  4. TEACHER Shows a picture Asks why they created their story and explains their story is their inference . Asks question Creates an oral story Shares story Developing awareness of using prior knowledge + clues from picture = Inference STUDENT Supporting Students with Scaffolding of Instruction Modeling

  6. Models writing thoughts onto a three column chart Clues From Picture + Prior Knowledge = Inference Observes which students need further instruction TEACHER Reads chart that records Clues From Picture + Prior Knowledge = Inference STUDENT Guided Practice

  7. Independent Application Students share their three column chart explaining how they used prior knowledge and clues from picture to make an inference TEACHER STUDENT Selects a picture and shares story after recording thinking on a three column chart Listens to others stories and asks thoughtful questions about the inferencing process

  8. + Strengths Students were excited about book selection and process of inferring with a picture Modeling with a graphic organizer [three column chart] helped visual learners see first how inferencing works Changes Instruction over several days would allow me to model extensively and encourage a rich oral discussion to build their vocabulary I would select pictures with themes more aligned to students’ prior knowledge Reflection
