Drawing Conclusions 4th Grade Unit

Lessons

Lesson 1: Explicit Information versus Drawing Conclusions Identify and describe the difference between explicit information and drawing conclusions.

Unit Extension Ideas

Have students read Explicit Information and Drawing Conclusions Reading Passages (provided on the website), answer the questions, and label them as Explicit Information or Drawing Conclusion questions.
Have students read passages available on the website and write their own Explicit Information and Drawing Conclusions questions. Have students trade their questions with a partner and label them as either EI or DC before answering them.
As students read stories independently or in Literature Groups, have them record connections and label them as text–to–self, text–to–text, or text–to–world in their journals.
Have students read book, movie, theater, or sports reviews and draw conclusions about what and how the author felt.
Provide poems for students to read. Then have students draw conclusions about the images and ideas in the poems using clues the poet provides and their own prior knowledge.
Have students read newspaper articles or Concepts of Comprehension^© Reading Passages and then draw conclusions about current events based on historical knowledge.

I'm an educational consultant working with middle school students and teachers. These materials are excellent for supporting students as they increase their skills in reading!

Wow!! What an awesome site! I was looking for some new and engaging ways to teach my fourth graders about drawing conclusions and stumbled across this. I can't wait to share this site with my co-workers when I return to work tomorrow!
