Lucky for us, we had the opportunity to take our inferencing lesson a little bit further. We decided to organize a game of "Inferencing Charades" for our students to play on the day before Spring Break. We had students choose an emotion from a hat and act it out for their classmates to "infer." No talking, of course! The class had to INFER what emotion the presenter was acting out by utilizing clues like facial expressions and nonverbal body language. This helped students to understand that comprehension skills, like inferencing, have real life applications that can help us both in school an out of school.
