Review on Inferring

1. Explain that we can infer in any situation, it does not just have to be when we are reading a book or looking at pictures in a book. 2. Explain that I am going to show the class one picture and we need to infer what is happening in the picture. There is no text telling us the situation around the picture. All of the information about the text is something we must gather ourselves. 3. Explain that when we infer from a picture or a text we may not always be correct. Instead we are inferring what we ‘think’ is happening in the picture.

Introducing Captions

1. Explain that I am going to display a picture up on the smartboard. The goal is to infer what is happening in the picture and write a short caption summarizing what is going on in the picture. a. Ask if they remember what summarizing means. 2. Display the first picture that we will be inferring on the board. Explain that I am going to do the first one, so I need them all to listen to my thought process. a. During the first picture I am going to think out loud so the students can hear my thought process before I write a captions for it. b. I will do two examples for them to see how to do it. 3. After I have written captions for the two before, I will now allow them to help me write a caption for a few more pictures. 4. Display the next picture and ask students what they think is happening in the picture. Write down students ideas on the side before creating a caption for the photo. 5. Take students ideas and create a caption, ask the students if the caption is something that they agree with before moving on to the next photo. 6. For one of the photos near the end of the ‘shared’ portion allow a student to create the caption for the photo and check with the class to see if they agree.
