Today, we discussed the reading strategy of inferring or making inferences. It means reading between the lines to wok out hidden meanings in the text. You need to combine good thinking with clues in the text and your own prior knowledge. We had a go making inferences from descriptive sentences using Padlet. I think the students did very well! Here are our first two examples.
)Awesome post Mr Moriarty.
ReplyDeleteVery well inferred room 16.
I love the padlets.
What funny photos.
Well done:-)
Great post! During this year, our English teacher also made us infer. The definition of inferring was almost exactly how you said it in you post! "Reading between the lines to wok out hidden meanings in the text." We had to infer what a poem meant. However, unlike you, we didnt use padlets :)
