This week for Reading we are learning about one of the reading strategies, inferring. Inferring is reading between the lines. To infer, you take clues and hints from the words of the author and make something up out of it. You need to be able to use your prior knowledge when inferring. First we practiced inferring in our reading groups. Mr Wong read out a sentence then the groups had write some infers that we made on a white board with a whiteboard marker. Then for the task we had to make a copy of a google document that had 3 short texts and an empty box below for each one. We had to read the text and make a list of bullet points for each inference we mad. We had to think about - who the character might be, What type of person the character is, how the character feels, and where or when the event is happening. I was able to make at least 3 or 4 inferences in each box for the texts.
Hello Victoria. I have read your work and this work is very interesting. I have done a DLO like this before. How do you cope with such out standing work. Keep up the good work
