Making inferences is the foundation of many of the higher-level thinking processes. In this activity, students practice making a variety of inferences including those related to setting, character traits, point of view, and more. Through an engaging game, students find clues in the text and use their background knowledge to support their conclusions. They check their work by turning their cards over to see if a complete design is formed. Students use the graphic organizer on the back of the game mats toanalyze text and organize their ideas.
