Day 1:
Instruction: The teacher will review the inference anchor chart with students. The teacher will
provide details about the culminating silent IMovie production. The teacher will lead the students in
creating a class rubric for the video production.
Activity: Students will use their iPads to access the website: http://reading.ecb.org/index.html. Here
they will view an instructional video on inferring. Then students will make inferences about different
scenarios such as: letters, blogs, movies, text messages, and historical documents.
Closing: Students will log in to their personal Edmodo accounts and create a new post on the
discussion board. Discussion board topic: How do you go about making an inference?
Day 2:
Activity: Students will respond to two classmates posts on Edmodo from the previous day. Students
will then view the Brainpop Jr. video titled Making Inferences and answer the questions that follow
the video for immediate feedback.
Closing: Students will log in to their personal Edmodo accounts and submit a private discussion with
the teacher to self- assess how they are doing on inferring.
Day 3:
Activity: Students will choose between two books on Myon. They will read either No Lie, I Acted Like
a Beast or Seriously, Snow White was so Forgetful by Nancy Loewen. Upon completion of one of the
books, they will create a story mapping character map.
Closing: Students will log in to their personal Edmodo accounts, upload a picture of their character
map, review one other classmates map, and post a comment about their classmates map.
Day 4:
Instruction: The teacher will review inferring and how to make inferences about characters.
Activity: Students will choose 5 cards from the Character Emotion Cards that they feel they can
create a silent IMovie about. Students will begin writing a script for their own silent movie
presentation. As they complete their script, they will practice, and begin filming when they are ready.
* Filming will take place in front of a green screen and the iPad will be on a tripod.
Assessment: Students will be assessed on their IMovie according to the rubric which is made as a
group.
