Teaching Inferences to Students

This is a very detailed lesson plan with activities, handouts, and discussion notes for teaching inferences to students.

By investigating "The case of the Missing Dog", students will sort through evidence to make "inferences" on where the characters are and what they did that day. Students become "inference investigators" and are encouraged to draw conclusions from case file packets.

The lesson also includes:

• Detailed Teacher Instructions

• Lesson Outline

• 4 Writing worksheets

• 3 Collaborative classroom activities

• Discussion notes

In addition to this lesson plan, more resources are included:

• "Inference Activity" to assist in teaching about inferences

• 5 "Inference Activity" posters

• 1 Writing worksheet

• Bonus "inference" definition posters and examples

• 1 Inference Definition poster

• 4 Inference Example posters
