Have students discuss with elbow partners Have students discuss with elbow partners. Assign roles (red = observation, black = inference), then switch. Call at random for sample answers. 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 countdown to wrap up partner discussion.

Point out that students can make observations like “the ocean is blue” or “there is a man in a yellow kayak” but that these are not RELEVANT observations to the inference. Students should focus on “what’s really important in this picture?” while making their observations.

#3: Picture Activity wrap up – Use complete sentences! Write 3-4 observations about this photo. (Focus on the ones that are the most important to your inference.) Make a logical inference. Use this slide for the following day’s warm up in spiral: Write as many observations as you can about this photo (use complete sentences). Make a logical inference.

Use this slide for the Pop Quiz (#8-9)
