English 8 students went over the ladder of inferences — the steps we make when creating inferences.

1. Observational data
2. Filtering
3. Adding meaning
4. Creating assumptions
5. Drawing conclusions
6. Adjusting thinking
7. Taking action

We watched a Ted-Ed video covering this and then looked at some real-life examples:

English I students went over the most famous scene in theater: the famed balcony scene (act 2 scene 2). We did a Whoosh of the scene in preparation for a closer examination tomorrow. (The link for watching the E1 stream is here and available to GCS users.)
