Inference Graphic organizer
The Inference Graphic Organizer can be used for all sorts of text:
D + K = I Details Known Inference (Miller & Veatch, 2011, p. 71) Procedure
Tied to Writing
Students are able to write their prior knowledge about a certain concept and then write something the learned from the text to infer about the concept. At the end they use their inferences to draw conclusions about the text, using what they know and learned.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.6-8.1.b
Support claim(s) with clear reasons and relevant evidence, using credible sources and demonstrating an understanding of the topic or text. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.6-8.1.e Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from the argument presented.

(How-To Videos, 2013)
The benefits of making inferences in a graphic organizer allow students to draw conclusions and make predictions. It allows for engagement with the text as well as interaction. Students are able to understand and remember easier because they are recording the information on their Inference Graphic Organizer the same time the teacher is filling in the class's.
Using Graphic Organizers to Make inferences
(ESparkLearningVideos, 2013)
This video gives a slight variation of the Inference Graphic Organizer, putting the inference first, followed by an example from the text and an example for your life supporting your inference.
Inferences Song
(Coone, 2011)
Here is a song to get students thinking about inferencing. It could be used as an introduction to the concept or as a review. I thought it was a clever way to summarize inferencing.
