All students, regardless of the class, worked on the same skill today: inferring. It’s such a basic skill in any class (but especially English), and it’s critical to hit those important skills early.

Students worked to make inferences based on evidence I presented by acting the tough-as-nails, take-no-nonsense, always-serious teacher.

This gave everyone an opportunity to practice pair work as well as working on the very fundamental skill of infering.
