* It is also important in other subjects
* Useful for making predictions and evaluation
* Helps students develop basing opinions on identifiable evidence (draw conclusions)]]> 2022-04-03 14:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lynnmarie2129/36pwunsk97rvy3yy/wish/2127222974 How to use? lynnmarie2129 https://padlet.com/lynnmarie2129/36pwunsk97rvy3yy/wish/2127226039 1)      Identify a question 
                Most inference questions have the words “suggest” “imply” or “infer” 
        Some do not use those words but you infer what is being asked
2)      Trust the passage. 
3)      Look for clues – supporting details, vocabulary, character actions, descriptions, dialogue, ect to prove one of the answers to the question
4)      Narrow down your choices using the clues from the passage.

When science students are given the opportunity to interact with the vocabulary, they are more likely to remember it.

Ideas for using the words on your wall are only limited by your imagination. Some examples include:

  • Students categorize and sequence from largest to smallest (cell, bacteria, yeast, tissue, ribosome, organ, organism, organ system, protozoa, virus) Variation: Students are given vocabulary words, and their classmates must arrange them in the correct order and justify the placement.
  • Students remove words from the wall and make connecting statements about the words. The class can then create a summarizing statement, for example: cells make up tissues, and tissues make up organs.
