Mrs. Pride's Class Plays Inferencing Charades

We are beginning our inferencing unit in reading and started today by playing charades. Students had to use background knowledge and partner clues to figure out what their partner was acting out. This is similar to how we will use background knowledge and authors' clues to make inferences while reading.
