NO DAVID! Inference

To follow up our Snowy Day Case Files inference activity a couple weeks ago, we pulled out the book NO David! First up, we made a little “No David” inference brainstorm chart. We talked about our schema and the text clues to make really good inferences. As we looked at each page from the story, I called on a few students to give me an inference about the picture and then the clue/schema that helped them make that inference.

 

After we brainstormed our inferences, I introduced our little anchor chart. We talked about words to use {sentence starters} when we’re making / writing about inferences. We went over schema again and they IMMEDIATELY knew what evidence was thanks to our previous Snow Day activity!

I had the students fill out this inferencing sheet where they had to describe a picture from the story, write their inference about the picture, and then write about a clue/schema that helped them make their inference. LOVE!!!
