Today we started by practicing another inference activity. I was surprised by how many of you caught on so quickly to the "It says... I say... and so..." structuring. There were still a few that were having a tough time. No need to fret! We will continue to practice inferences for the majority of the school year.
Once we were finished with our inference activity, I gave you the remainder of the hour to read The Outsiders. Chapter 2 was to be completed by the end of the hour!
If you did not finish in class, I asked that you checked out a book. I hope everyone comes to class with chapter two finished for Tuesday.

Today in class we practiced another inference activity. The majority of the class seemed to do well finding the answer, but struggled a bit figuring out how to phrase the answer. Not a problem! We will continue to practice this throughout the remainder of the school year.
Once we were finished with our inference activity, I read aloud from The Outsiders for the remainder of the hour. Thank you to those of you that were paying attention while I read aloud.

Today we did our first inference activity. I showed you a picture of the comic and asked you, "Why is the turkey visiting the psychiatrist?" We practiced using the phrase, "It says_____, I say ______, and so _______." I was very impressed with how well you all did!
When we were finished I had you complete your anticipation guide for The Outsiders. We tallied up the amounts of "yes" and "no" for each category. To wrap up this activity I asked you to complete the sentence below.
We briefly talked about how making predictions is a type of inference. I asked you to support your prediction with evidence from either the anticipation guide or the article, or both!
To round out the hour I either gave you independent reading time to begin the story or read aloud to you.

After working on our inferences I asked that you read and annotate an interview with the author of our next novel. If you did not finish this in class it is homework.

Tomorrow, we will be working more on identifying what inferences are. We will also get a little background information on the S.E. Hinton, the author of our next novel The Outsiders.

We spent the majority of the hour working on some discussion questions. We FINALLY were able to work in our notebooks. I asked you to answer three different questions in complete sentences with some textual evidence as support. The questions are listed in the image to the left.
For the third question I let you chat with a partner before sharing with the class. You guys are doing really well so far working in pairs.
To wrap up the class period we did a quick mini lesson on mood and tone. Everyone participated in a fun activity where we tried saying a phrase in different tones. Thank you to those of you who volunteered to share your example with the class.
Before heading out the door I had you complete a short exit slip for understanding. After reading through them it seems like you've all got the hang of mood and tone. I am anxious to apply this new knowledge to our Malala article tomorrow.
