Post a 2–3 sentence inference or short summary about the first paragraph of the text (Maya at the gate). Explain one clue from the text that helped you infer this. Success criteria: 2–3 sentences; refers to text evidence.

Choose one of the 15 vocabulary words. Post a sentence using the word correctly and underline or bold it. Say which word you used. Success criteria: correct meaning; grammatically correct sentence.

Post one strategy you used to infer meaning (1–2 sentences). Then reply to two classmates' posts with a constructive comment or question. Success criteria: post + two replies; respectful language.

Your posts will be assessed on clarity, relevance, and critical thinking. To meet expectations, ensure your inference is supported by the text, use a target vocabulary word correctly in a sentence, and provide thoughtful reflections. Replies should be respectful, constructive, and show engagement with peers' ideas.
