Free Inference Cheat Sheet

Description

Do your students insert examples and quotes into their texts without properly analyzing them? Without proper analysis, an essay can sound like a long, drawn-out list written in complete sentences. We teach students to infer and to analyze, but they sometimes forget to incorporate this into their texts and essays.

I have created an “Inference Cheat Sheet” with key inferencing words and phrases to remind students that after inserting a piece of evidence, they need to explain its relevance.

Included are:

❒ Two different styles of the at-a-glance “Cheat Sheet.”

❒ An inference poster (8.5×11) – as seen on the cover.

❒ Two different styles of letters for an inference bulletin board.

❒ A copy of ALL the phrases used on the Cheat Sheet to create a bulletin board in class.

I hope that this resource will be helpful to students in your classes.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Hunger Games Valentine Cards Free Printables”

by Tracee Orman
5th – 12th Grade

Happy Hunger Games…oops, I mean Valentine’s Day! Here are my popular Valentine printables from my blog with some new designs added. This download includes five pages with six Valentines on each page.

The messages are:
Valentine, you’re more charming than a dead slug!
I’m aiming for you, Valentine!
I’m fired up to be your valentine.
May the odds be ever in your favor, Valentine.
Still betting on you, Valentine.
You have no idea. The effect you can have.
You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?
You love me. Real or Not Real?
Here’s some advice. Be Mine.
You are my dandelion in the spring, Valentine.
Stay with me. Always.
You are radiant as the sun, Valentine.
You’re hotter than Finnick Odair in his underwear. (Warning, that one may not be appropriate for younger students. Use your best judgement.)
I’ll bake you bread, Valentine.

I hope you enjoy!
