Ways to Use Task Cards

1.  Model to the class how to use clues to make inferences.

2.  Set the cards out around the room and have students go on a scavenger hunt.

3.  Give each student a card to answer at their own desk. Then, have the students leave the card at their desk while they move to the desk next to them. Continue until all the cards have been answered.

4.  Have partners answer the questions together – 1 person reads the card, while the other person writes the answer on the answer sheet. For the next card, have the students switch roles!

5.  Have early finishers complete the task cards.
