INFERENCES
My reading class was given an assignment to use their AR trade books and find a quote where they had to infer what the author was saying using their schema. Whoa, I know slow down! Such big words!!!
AR Trade Book - Books that the students read for their enjoyment. These are not text books. They can be found in libraries and bookstores. AR stands for Accelerated Reader; our reading program at school that monitors students' reading levels and comprehension.
Infer or inference- using reason to come to a conclusion. Students use what they know about something to make a prediction based on the clues in the story.
Schema- Prior knowledge or what they already know.
Comprehension - Do they understand what they read?
The students were able to pick a book they had read or were reading and find a quote. They then had to fill in a quote, inference, and schema bubble, make a poster and finally present it to their classmates.
