Objective:  I can make inferences during my SSR reading by applying each step of my 4-Column Journal in the back of my notebook.  Also, I can write a reflection of seven sentences or more explaining how I can use the visual I created to build mental stamina in school.

BW:  Review exemplar of 4-Column Journal as a reminder for how to make inferences.

Activities:

1.  SSR–Students will read to make an inference per page of their SSR books.
2. Turn-and-Talk:  After observing their visualization or rereading the mental tip selected from the AOW about “building mental stamina,” students will discuss with their elbow partners how their particular mental tip can be applied in school.
3. Reflection:  Students will write a paragraph of seven sentences or more about how their selected mental tips can be applied at school.
4. Groups of Four:  In groups of 3 or 4, each student will read his/her reflection to other group members.  One will be selected for each group to share out.
5. Share Out:  One member from each group will share his/her reflection and visual with the class.
