Inference Activity - Making Inferences on Social Media Reading Assignments is a creative activity designed to help your students improve their inferential thinking. Students will examine three social media profiles and use their reading skills to infer information about the person who owns the account. Each of the profiles includes posts, conversations, updates, and images that reveal information about the person's traits, interests, relationships, and more! Students will complete one of the three included assignments designed to help students infer meaning.
Prompting questions are provided to help guide students' inferences of the social media profiles. Students must infer information from the profiles based on their background knowledge and demonstrate what evidence led them to make that inference.
