inferencing with Poetry
Connecting
A deeper look at Figure 19
3.6(A) 4.4(A) 5.4(A)describe the characteristics of various forms of poetry and how they create imagery (e.g., narrative poetry, lyrical poetry, humorous poetry, free verse).
explain how the structural elements of poetry (e.g., rhyme, meter, stanzas, line breaks) relate to form (e.g., lyrical poetry, free verse).
analyze how poets use sound effects (e.g., alliteration, internal rhyme, onomatopoeia, rhyme scheme) to reinforce meaning in poems.

(i) poetic techniques (e.g., alliteration, onomatopoeia);
(ii) figurative language (e.g., similes, metaphors);
(iii) graphic elements (e.g., capital letters, line length).

Interpret text or understand themes
Analyze characters

When inferring, good readers...
Figure out unfamiliar words
Are actively building meaning beyond literal interpretation

Big Ideas
Students need to know:
❏ We infer all the time
❏ Inferring is not guessing, predicting, or an opinion
❏ Inferring uses exact clues from the text and background knowledge to come up with an idea that is not written down in text
Teachers need to know:
❏ Teaching inference is a process
❏ Strategic pacing will pay off
❏ Building the language for making inferences will help students understand inferencing
Good Lesson
★ Begin with the foundation of inferencing Anchor Lesson Activity○ Backpack Activity
★ Build Key Vocabulary○ Inference/Infer○ Clues○ Background Knowledge○ Predict○ Draw Conclusions○ Text Structure○ Theme
○ Reasonable Prediction○ Implied○ Lyrical○ Free Verse○ Stanza○ Textual Evidence○ Plot (rising action/problem,
climax, resolution/solution
Poetry
Good Lesson Brainstorm
Think Turn Talk
❏ What is another anchor activity you could use to introduce inferencing to your class?
❏ What activities could you use in the classroom to teach key vocabulary terms for inferencing?
Poetry
Good Lesson
★ Teacher provides definition of poetry.○ visualization activity○ students silently read poem,
“Victory” ○ students are asked to use clues
from the text about what they infer about the poem
○ students write their thoughts in their reader’s notebook
Poetry
Good Lesson
★ Have students complete:
What I read What I know My Inference
Poetry
★ EXIT TICKET for students: Identify one thing you learned today.

reminds me of…”○ Discuss how you came to that
conclusion (schema)

Better Lesson
★ Students will read poem and highlight important words that helped them gain meaning
Poetry
Better Lesson

stanzas and number each stanza

Better Lesson
★ Conclusion: Discuss text structure, rhythm, rhyming words, alliteration, figurative language: metaphor & simile, imagery, tone, visual effect of poem, plot and students’ inferences.

Best Lesson
★ Touchstone Strategy○ 5 senses: sight, hearing, taste,
touch, smell
Poetry
Best Lesson
★ Think Aloud Strategy○ Tell students, “As we read the
poem together, we are going to look at the key vocabulary terms we have discussed. We are also going to look for emotions, character’s feelings, the 5 senses, text structure and many other features as we read through the poem.”
Poetry
Best Lesson
★ Think Aloud Strategy Continued...○ Teacher reads through the poem
one time.○ Then teacher reads the poem line
by line, modeling a think aloud with the poem on chart paper using sticky notes to guide students through analyzing of the poem.■ Be sure to use the STAAR
Question Stems
