Making predictions and inferences before or during reading:
Provide students with key words (new vocab or not) from a text/topic and have students categorize the words under (setting, character, conflict), (cause and effect) etc. Thereafter have students use the words they have categorized to write 1-2 quick sentences about their predictions/inference about the text or topic. One of the sentences has to answer "why" the student feels his/her prediction/inference may be valid. Provide no more than 6-8 words. This strategy can be applied in small groups or individually. Can this be done with selected sentences from a text? hhhmmmm
