Inferencing Lesson Plan
TEKS:
110.6.b. 7(A): Students will describe personal connections to a variety of sources, including self-selected
texts.
110.6.b. 7(C ): Students will use text to support an appropriate response.
110.6.b. 8(A): Students will infer basic themes supported by text evidence.
Criteria for Success (How will you know if students master the learning objective? How will students know they were successful?)
I will know students have mastered the objective based on whether they can identify fiction and non-fiction texts. Also,
they will make inferences about the texts presented and promote textual evidence.
Relevance/Real World Application (Can your students explain to someone WHAT they are learning and WHY?)
Students will observe real life pictures and make inferences based on what they see. Also, They will observe
STAAR stem questions so they can identify inferencing questions on the test.
Interdisciplinary Connections
- Science
112.15.b. 10(A): Students will explore how structures and functions enable organisms to survive in their
environment.

Lesson Procedures/Learning Activities:
Introductory Activity/Opening: Read aloud to build suspense. Read “For the love of Autumn” and remind
them how Mr. Surber has showed them some Patricia Polacco books.
Information Giving: Slide show presentation teaching and reinforcing inferencing skills
Modeling/Providing Examples:
-Teacher will start by showing a slide show about inferencing and will share a resource for students that has
general information. Students will also look at inferencing questions that might come up on the STAAR, so
they know how to recognize them.
Guided Practice:
-Students will work on an activity along with the teacher where they will point out the evidence plus the
schema will equal an inference using a educational magazine.

Independent Practice:
-Students will watch a video in edpuzzle.com and will answer questions about the video independently
-Students will answer questions about a video on edpuzzle.com while the teacher monitors. These questions
will pop up as the video plays.
Differentiation
Students will be sitting in groups with different levels of comprehension and will be able to share and listen to
each other’s answers. Students will also be able to translate as necessary to classmates that might not
understand.
