        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of making inferences and supporting those inferences with text evidence. Students begin by sorting nouns and verbs and reviewing text evidence and how it can be used.


        The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on making inferences and supporting inferences with evidence from the text. In the first instructional block students focus on making inferences after reading a variety of texts.


        In the second instructional block students continue to make inferences while supporting those inferences with text evidence.


        Passages are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support deeper understanding and allow students to practice the skill in context.
