About the “Doodle” Notes:
First, students will learn how to make inferences by completing a set of doodle notes. Doodle notes are color-it-in, fill-it-in, and doodle-encouraging note sheets. They’re not only visually engaging, they’re also effective in helping students increase their focus and ability to recall information. Plus…they’re really fun! In this resource, there are 2 options of Doodle Notes:
- Option 1: All the notes are filled in. With this option students will color, embellish, and add doodles to the notes as you review the information with the class.
- Option 2: Some of the notes are filled in and students need to fill in the remainder of the notes (like guided notes). Students will work to fill in the notes as you teach the content.
About the “Do” Activities
After students complete their Doodle Notes it’s time for them to “Do” some fun activities. The activities are designed around lessons to help students practice the skill of inferencing. There are five activities in all:
- Travel Inferences: Students review travel itineraries and collect clues about the cities that are described. Then, they combine the clues with their own background knowledge to make an inference. This cut-and-paste activity is hands-on and fun!
- Doodle an Inference: Students take the “doodle” theme a bit further as they doodle the contents of gift boxes based on inferences that they make from gift tag descriptions.
- 3 Reading Passages: Students read 3 different reading passage. Two passages are nonfiction. One passage is fiction. After reading each passage, students complete different tasks to make inferences.
