The counselor was in my classes today to do a lesson on social media. Part of the activity was making students aware that people often read meaning into what others post, whether it is intended or not. That message was timely, given that our third quarter assessment indicated a strong weakness in making inferences for the sixth grade as a group.
As an example of this principle, she showed the students a tweet from Chris Brown:
"What can you infer from this?" she asked. "Read between the lines."
"I can't," one of the students cried. "There's only one line!"
