Objective: I can make inferences by reading to answer the questions in today’s CFA. Also, I can make inferences to identify themes in “Two Friends” by reading to answer worksheet questions and consulting with my elbow partner to identify two or three of the story’s themes from the “Universal Themes” handout.
Activities:
- CFA: Students will utilize the chrome books to take today’s CFA on inferences.

Think of how their actions, dialogue, or feelings can complete the sentence and choose one.
