As students enter the classroom, distribute Entrance Ticket: Unit 1, Lesson 1 and allow
time for students to record their responses.
Turn and Talk:
“Why do we have learning targets? What is the purpose of learning targets?” (To give usagoal;thegoalistobeabletosay“Ican...,”whichmeansthatthetargethasbeen achieved.)
Direct students’ attention to the posted learning target, and select a volunteer to read it aloud:
“I can infer the topic of this module from the resources.”
Underline the word infer in the first target.
Ask:
“What does infer mean? If you are going to infer the topic, what does that mean?” (When we make an inference, we make a good guess based on the evidence we have seen. Inferring the topic means making a good guess about the topic based on the content of the resources we will look at.)
Ensure that students have access to an online or paper translation dictionary.
Model using a dictionary to check the preliminary definition of infer.
With student support, record the meaning of infer on the academic word wall with translations in students’ home languages (to make a guess based on facts and observations; conclude). Write synonyms or sketch a visual above each key term to sca old students’ understanding.
