CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.1
Goal(s): “Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly
and when drawing inferences from the text.”
Planning: This is the first lesson in a 3-lesson unit plan where students will be learning about
inferences as well as making their own. Prior to teaching this unit, I have learned that
there are 3 groups of students at varying levels of abilities when it comes to reading. The
lowest group performs at a 4th grade level, the second group performs at a 5th-6th grade
level, and the last group is performing at about a 7th-8th grade level. Therefore, this first
lesson of the unit will be whole group in order to model and set the foundation for
students on what inferences are and how to make them while using supporting evidence.
The remaining 2 lessons will involve a short recap of inferences in a whole group, but
then will break into 3 rotational groups according to their reading levels so that all
students will be met with level appropriate challenges, while simultaneously learning
about the same concept. Each group will meet with me for approximately 20 minutes in
the final 2 lesson plans of this unit.
Informal: I will informally assess the students’ progress by listening to their volunteered
Assessment: answers when I ask them for their own inferences. I will also be giving time for them to
work with a partner on 2-3 short passages where they will need to identify inferences
with supporting evidence for each. They will be given questioning prompts below the
passages to get them thinking. We will come back as a class and share a few of the
partner work ideas for each passage. This will allow me to hear their inferences and
encourage/correct anything that is wrong.
Formal: Formal assessment will be completed on the 3rd and final day of the unit. Each
of the 3 separate groups will have individual, challenge appropriate
worksheets/assignments for them to complete when we meet during our 20-minute
rotations.
