Thuis chapter was about how to teach inferencing. I tend to infer alot when I read, becuase I like to predict a stories outcome. The more information I infer the more evidence I have for my predicions, and I am usually right. It used to bug my brother, because I could ruin a book series' ending just by reading the first couple of books. We were rarily surprised, except for when Dumbledore.. you know.
This chapter was helpful afterr I read it. I have been trying to work with my Centennial kids on inferencing. I wanted them to infer character traits of Hank the Cowdog. I was having trouble, becuase initially i agrred with Beers that inferencing can't be taught it is "inferential." IAfter reading the section I decided to borrow the bumper sticker lesson. I wanted to teach alesson where a car has several bumper stickers, and the students have to figure out the drivers's personality based on the stickers.
