IN THE CLASSROOM....

A Perfect Unit on Inferring...
Ideas for grades 1-6.

Students alwas seem to want to blame each other for "things" in the classroom.  So I took this as the chance to turn it into a lesson on Inference.  You can assume many things.  I show them pictures and let them try to figure out what is going on in each picture.  I get many, many different opinions.  Students must back up their inference!  They then try to presuade others to their side.  It is a fun lesson and then I do not have chidren accusing each other so much in the end.
