Objective:  I can add entries in my 4-Column Inference Journal by applying each step suggested at the top of the columns to at least one quote per page of my SSR book.

BW:  Students will open their notebooks to the 4-Column Inference Journal located in the back and read the exemplar or model provided last week.  For students who were absent last week, copy the provided example in the back of your notebook.

Activities:

  1.  Turn-and-Talk:  Students will explain to their elbow partners how the third column can help make an inference or educated guess.  Or students can ask each other questions about the 4-Column journal.
  2. Share Out:  How does making a personal connection help to determine an inference or educated guess?  Are there any questions?
  3. SSR:  Read for 15 minutes and make inferences by using the exemplar of the 4-Column Inference Journal.  Recommended: Attempt to make 3 inferences, approximately one per page.
  4. Reminder:  Do not complete the new version of the Claim Method worksheet for “Having Your Smartphone Nearby Takes a Toll on Your Thinking.”  We will work together in think share/pairs for this assignment on Monday.
