R.6.3 Use knowledge of sentence structureto comprehend text.
ELA CCSSRI.9-10.1 Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.RI.9-10.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings, analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal and informal tone).
ObjectivesTSWBAT

I can describe an animal.I can make inferences (draw conclusions.)I can use context to determine the meaning of a new word.

Vocabulary SquaresStudent 1 Looks up the word and draws a sketch.Student 2 tries to guess the word Student 1 is drawing.Together Student 1 and 2 create a sentence for the words.
Each student is responsible for looking up and drawing three words.Both students should look up and draw the words at the same time.Take about 10 minutes to draw.Take about 10 minutes to to guess and write sentences.
Text StructureWhat is text structure?Why is it important?
Text StructureWhat is text structure?
Why is it important?
Text Structure is the main parts of a text and how they fit together.Understanding text structure helps us determine the main idea, and supporting details. This helps us determine the purpose of a text.
Text Structure of Informational Texts
Informational TextDetails and Examples Details and examples explain
the topic.Experiences Experiences are things that
happened to real people.Visuals Visuals are pictures that help
readers understand the text.
Copy the chart to use as you read the text.

Reading Strategy
Authors do not always give us all the information.Sometimes you have to guess based on information you already know.Use evidence from the text to make these guesses.
Make inferences based on evidence.
Practice making inferencesRead these
sentences.
A man comes into the room.He is wearing a wet raincoat.
Practice making inferencesRead these
sentences.
A man comes into the room.He is wearing a wet raincoat.
Which of these is an inference based on the
sentences?
It is raining.The man is cold.
Practice making Inferences
Think Aloud:When I walk past the gym, I hear people cheering. I know that people cheer during games, so I can make an inference that there is a basketball game or some other game happening in the gym.
Practice with the Summary
Work with your partner to put the summary in order.Read the summary.What inferences can you make based on evidence found in the summary?Either paraphrase (put into your own words) the summary, or make a text sketch of the summary. You might want to paraphrase while your partner sketches.
